    How to remove paint from wood paneling
    I have a rental unit that has Wood Paneling, the past renters painted part of the room and splattered red paint on the wood paneling. Is there something I can use to remove the red paint without damaging the finish of the paneling?

    If it's just a splatter you can probably just use a scrubby sponge thing that you use to wash dishes. That's what I have always used. If it's thick splotches try scraping off the top layer with a 'widget' and then scrub.:)
