How do I get latex paint off window glass?

I am painting a steel exterior door, and I got some paint on the window panes. How do I get it off without scratching the glass?How do I get latex paint off window glass?
Razor blades can actually scratch certain types of glass so I recommend applying rubbing alcohol. Alcohol will break down any kind of sticky residue and after a minute or two you should be able to rub the residue off easily with a plastic scraper or a blade if you are careful.How do I get latex paint off window glass?

You can remove any kind of paint with a razor blade but you MUST keep the window glass wet or it will scratch the glass. Just wet the window with a sponge as though you were going to wash it and then razor scrape it away.


With oil based paint you use paint thinner instead of water.
Yeah razor blade. One thing run the edge where paint should stop, cutting the painting. As you peal the paint, it can peal off the steel door if the paint isn't scored there, especially with latex paint.
Use a razor blade and hold it flat against the glass and very carefully move the blade across the glass at an angle less than 45 degrees.
Get a Glass Scraping Blade. Denatured alcohol will help break down the resins in the water based paint making it easier to remove from the class.
use a sharp knife to score paint around glass and frame


use a scraper with a razor blade in. They are cheap and are much easier and safer to use
