Default Re: Painted Bakelite and paint stripper...

Some years ago I picked up a black Bakelite telephone at the local Car Boot that had been sprayed with silver aerosol paint. I removed it with Nitromors paint stripper and it didn't harm the Bakelite in anyway.
The Bakelite finish was found to be in remarkably good condition, I think the silver paint had actually preserved it from UV light damage over the years.
