How can I strip latex paint off of something without harming the oil based paint underneath?

I'm restoring an arcade cabinet that has a number of layers of latex paint over it. I started sanding it down, only to find that the bottom layer of paint (oil, as far as I can tell) is the original PacMan paint job. I'd much rather try to uncover this instead of paint over it, so is there any way (mechanical or chemical) to remove just the latex layers while causing as little disturbance to the oil layer as possible?How can I strip latex paint off of something without harming the oil based paint underneath?
Use a heat gun and a plastic putty knife. That should peel the latex paint off easily. Good luck.How can I strip latex paint off of something without harming the oil based paint underneath?
They should never touch eavhother... if someone actually took the time to get it to work(since they repel eachother like oil%26amp;water) then it will be like a rubber skin and not a mechanically bonded paint job. If you spend all day peeling it off, you will still end up with blemish. You'll have to sand the entire surface and perforate it with causing any rises in the surface... and then super coat with the finish you want. Kitchen and bath-use semi-gloss due to water or any room if you have kids so you can clean it easily without blemish. Flat is for color like in a living room or bedroom,... and gloss/oil/acryllic is for water protection and easy cleaning.
