I purchased a very cheap Coffee hand grinder. Someone had previously painted the wooden housing with a blue spray paint, and some of the paint got onto the iron grinding mechanism inside. I can unscrew the grinder from the box, and would like to know how I would get this off of the iron?
Normally chemical strippers are considered safe options to remove paint from Iron. Crown STRP could be a strong spray paint remove and you can see more paint removers from here https://chemicalwiki.com/best-paint-remover-top-5/.
To perform this paint removing activity, you will need a soft cloth, chemical stripper and wire tarp. You can follow complete procedure from here http://www.howtocleanstuff.net/how-to-remove-paint-from-wrought-iron/.
You can burn it off as well....WD 40 may leave a residue and effect the taste of the coffee if you intend to grind with it.If the part is removable, and is all irom you can burn off the paint. I would reccommend MEK and steel wool as well. MEK ( or Methyl Ethyl Ketone) is an agressive solvent available at hardware and paint stores. It leaves a slight residue but breaks up most paints well. Use a rough steel wool grade like single zero grade.
Try using WD-40 - no kidding! It works wonders for removing spray paint depending on the type and how long it's been on.
