I'm replacing windows in a 1930s house which at some point someone has clearly re-painted the existing steel frames, and done a poor job as there is paint up the sides of the reveal. It's not a huge amount, but enough to be annoying.

I've tried "Paint Panther" (ho ho), but probably because the surface is so rough, 'scraping' it off isn't really working. I can rub it with wire wool, but it feels like all I'm doing is smearing it.

I'm told 'modern' nitromors is pretty useless due to the removal of the active chemical in the original.

I could source 'evil chemicals' - aka what nitromors used to be, in the form of Starchem synstryp.

Worth to do that, or something different?

If you haven't had the windows fitted yet is there any chance that the new frames, if they are deeper, will cover the paint?
