I need to remove emulsion paint from an intercom device and phone

and of course they look AWFUL!!!

I might have tried my steam cleaner but I don't think that would be
good for the electronics!!

I find methylated spirits removes emulsion with a bit of rubbing. Worth
a try - it won't affect most plastics.


Either meths or nail polish remover.


Nail polish remover, acetone, will **** some plastics.
