Remove paint from marble mantel
I have a marble fireplace mantel that has been painted (it looks like two different times and colors), and I want to remove the paint. Any suggestions for what product(s) I should use, or the best process to use to get the old paint off. Thanks much.

Don’t bother trying the silent paint stripper (infrared). It barely softens the paint as the stone abosrbs the heat energy infinitely without getting to the temp that the paint loses its bond with the stone. Tried it on slate to no avail.
It’s Rock Miracle, Donatella. LOL! BTW, I recently had a similar problem involving a very dark green paint that had been applied to my white marble windowsills.
Although the woodstripper did a pretty good job of getting most of it off, I can still see some very faint hints of the green in places where it looks like the color was actually absorbed into the marble. Worse, there are now places where the stripper applied stain to the newly-stripped window casings and now there is a bit of that stain that seems to have tinted the stripped marble as well! IOW, depending on the color and how much paint/stain there is to remove, you may not get absolutely perfect results. Eman1234’s advice is mine exactly.
peel away, just be prepared for way more coats than the label claims..remember that marble is real, real soft and damages easily from sharp tools or abrasives…code word gentle and patient
Use peel away or there is another one (rock hard? something like that) and wear gloves and long sleeves and pants or you will be a mess and have lots of cuts and burns. Ouch.
Peel away is great, it just takes a lot of patience. Don’t use the Peel Away 1–use the one for stone, I think it’s 6.
It’s expensive, but it is ostensibly “nontoxic.”
I have been reading about a technique for taking paint off which is to use a steamer….The idea is that the hot steam will condense on the cold marble (under the paint) and lift it. Haven’t done it yet, i am working on stripping paint off my tin cielings.
Anyone know how to strip the top layer of paint away to reveal the original faux marble paint? You know, like the restorers at the Sistine Chapel must do?
ditto on Peel Away #7, but this stuff will burn a hole through flesh pretty easily, so dress appropriately.
