I found a used hot tub that is perfect for the master bedroom of a house I'm renovating. It doesn't have a hot tub now and needs something a fairly specific shape. This tub fits perfectly.
Anyway, the tub is an acrylic tub with fiberglass reinforcement. The color is marble white/cream/sand. Someone spilled blue paint on it. I have no idea if it's latex or alkyd, nor does the seller.
The tub also has some scratches but I'm not that worried about them.
Can I use oven cleaner on an acrylic surface?
I assume, worst case, I can sand the paint off. There's quite a bit of paint, perhaps 1/2 cup, so it would take quite a bit of sanding.
By the way, the paint has been on there a long time. It sounds like well over a year.
Anyone?

Get a #9 chisel and a ballpien hammer...  Â After you F it up, re-paint it black... 
Edit: Found this...
Method 1 - Use a Bath Rubber
Bath rubbers work miracles on very superficial scratches and scuffs or when removing paint from the surface of a bath. You use a bath rubber just like a you'd use a pencil rubber for erasing pencil on paper. On very slight scratches and scuffs the bath rubbers rough surface will remove the damage and leave a nice shiny surface that needs no further finishing. If you have more serious damage to your bath you may want to use one of the other methods.

I appreciate the ideas, gents.
I never thought about the latex caulk remover. Good idea.
Again, thank you.

No. I'm starting to think it will be too much work. By the time I get the paint off and sand/buff out the scratches, I'll be into the thing for more labor than I'd like to be.
It's still there, though. ... and I still need a tub.
