What is the best way to remove bathroom paint from a new upvc window frame?

I have very stupidly got bathroom paint (dulux) on our new window frame and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on the best way to remove it without damaging or scratching the window please?! Thank you for your help, it will be gratefully received!!What is the best way to remove bathroom paint from a new upvc window frame?
If it is emulsion just rub with a cloth but if it dried in or gloss use a scraper but put a thin cloth over the blade and this will stop damaging the pvc.What is the best way to remove bathroom paint from a new upvc window frame?
One of the best things I ever got was a paint scraper, basically its just a stanley knife blade on a stick, so the whole blade edge acts as your scraper. I use it for all sorts as it is so precise. I think Wilkinsons do them but here's a picture of what I mean. This will get your paint off.





Next time, mask a nice clean line using masking tape (this is the BEST way of doing sealant around windows and bathtubs as well) which leaves a lovely straight line that looks really professional.
take some gfingernail polish scrape it with a q tip ad a little **** and sugar then call it a day
Bathroom paint is not designed to adhere to plastic. You should be able to peel it off without damaging the frame. In the future, if you get paint on plastic, resist the urge to wipe it up. It comes off easier if it's a drop than a smear.





If the paint is relatively new (a week or less), you can remove what's left with water or Simple Green. Longer than that and you'll need to use ';Goof Off'; (from Home Depot or Lowe's, etc.). Rub with a rag dampened with Goof Off and as soon as the paint is removed, scrub with Simple Green to remove the Goof Off before it can soften the plastic frame.
