What's the best way of removing paint from glass?
I recently sprayed a picture frame, but since it contained an old tapestry the entire back was sealed up. I didn't want to tear the whole thing apart, I covered the glass before spraying. But like a fucking idiot I didn't take drift into account, so the glass now looks like pic related. Any ideas how to get it off?

paint thinner? mineral spirits? the thing it listed on the container of paint?

Razor blade

Razor blade, pair it with a gasket scraper handle if you want easy-mode. Gasket scrapers are usually $5-10 and come with 3-5 razor blades. You can find them at any auto parts store and most hardware stores.

The rough side of a kitchen scrubber will take that off in ten seconds.

MEK, denatured alcohol, nail polish remover, etc. Last thing I would do is scrape it. You don't want to scratch it.

I've removed a lot of paint from windows using razor blades and never scratched one. You don't dig the corners of the blade into the glass, you just use the flat sharp edge at a low angle, and nobody will ever see a scratch. Paint pros have been doing this for a century.
