Hi guys, I need your help.
Hy guys. I need your help!

I painted my PCV house door but used the wrong paint (Ronseal garden paint for wood).
The result is horrible, obviously.
Now I have been trying to take the paint off
- scratching it
- using soapy water
- using white spirit.
The only one that works is scratching but I cannot scratch the curved parts without damaging them.
Any suggestions?
I'd like to save the door instead of replacing it.

Thank you!
