Paint can be somewhat difficult to remove from windows and their frames especially if you did not remember to tape them off.

On a window, you can just use a dull putty knife to gently remove the paint, but using a putty knife on the window seals may be disastrous.

You can really damage the wood around the windows if you do not take the time to tape off first. The tape will keep you from getting any paint on the wood, but will allow you to get into the deep corners or pockets that are around most windows. You also do not want to use any kind of corrosive chemicals to remove the paint as this will remove the finish that was put on the window seal.

It is no recommended to use a putty knife or corrosive chemicals that are not water based on your wood finishes.
