How do I remove paint from wrought iron chairs?
I have bought wrought iron (I think they are) kitchen chairs.
Paint has been splattered on them. When I tried Vim or light rubbing with SOS pad, it removes the finish.
How do I remove the paint safely with the least amount of damage?

Burn it off with a propane torch and hit it with a wire brush, you can't hurt the wrought iron.
first you use sandpaper completely sanded away old paint
wash and let it dried
next painted with a brush or spray
and it look band new

If an SOS pad removes the finish, they probably aren't wrought iron -- sorry. There are three products I use to remove paint. Try them in this order. If one doesn't work, try the next.
1) Simple Green and a sponge. 2) WD-40 and a sponge, followed by Simple Green. 3) a product called Goof-Off (you can get it at WalMart or Ace Hardware).
If those won't take it off, you'll probably have to paint over the problem.

Rum_Corp has a good idea.
Polystripa (Lepage product) also works but that is a caustic paint remover and then you have to get rid of it and the paint. But even burning it results in air pollution. Your choice.
