Default Removing paint

I bought a house & the previous owner got Yellow paint on the end of the
kitchen cabinets about 1/2" along the wall.
He probally never heard of masking tape.
Is there anyway to remove this paint without hurting the Veneered side
of the cabinet ?


Didn't you post this already, a month or two ago?
Same answer as last time- a SHARP razor scraper at a low angle, and try
to pop the paint off. If the cabinet finish is intact underneath, most
should come right off. Then a green scrubbie pad to remove any stubborn
spots, and touch up with a matching wipe-on gel stain, to make the scuff
marks go away.

Look at it this way- you won't make it any worse with this method, and
it may work 'good enough'. Try it before you try any solvents or such,
which can make it worse.
