I got lucky two ways with that set. First the original finish was still good and secondly, the paint was just spray paint so it was probably thinner than if it would have been brushed on. Some of the paint I scaped off with a dull putty knife and the rest I removed with a can of "deglosser" that I got from Ace Hardware years ago. It disolved the paint and did not hurt the finish although I did wipe the stuff off pretty fast. Afterwards I put on that orange citrus wax with fine steelwool and polished it.
