Remove old glass frosting?

I have a 9 paned window that was once sprayed with the glass "frosting" for privacy. It was done at least 6 years ago before I moved into my house. I found a can of it in the store and read how to remove it. It said to use lacqur remover, paint thinner, acytate and that kind of thing. I have tried all of them and nothing is helping! It looks terrible! Can someone please suggest a sure fire way to remove it? Thanks so much!

If Acetone or Xylene will not remove it, then you may have an etched window, done with sandblast or acid etch, in which case you replace the glass.

A brick and the phone number of a good glazer?

If you live in a cold climate, you might be able to find a brass-edged ice scraper. If not, try a paint scraper (but be careful, because steel can scratch your glass.)

I know it is frosted because the people that sold it to us said it was and also said it was easy to remove. Hmmmm. It is scratched in places and I can see through the glass. Looks like the razor blade may be the trick...thanks!

Hi Lisa, what was it and what kind of store did you find it in? Thanks, Bart.
