how to strip paint from walls
Scraping. The easiest way to remove old paint, if it is already loosened, peeling or chipped, is with a putty knife, plastic scraper or an oscillating tool with rigid scraper blade. Simply work the flat edge of the tool across the surface of the wall to remove loosened pieces of paint.imply scraping will remove the majority of loosened paint; small areas can be taken care of with fine-grit sandpaper fitted to a rotary or oscillating tool. Use only the flat edge of the scraper, or you could gouge the surface; if you do, fill in the damaged areas with joint compound.
