To remove gloss paint from a bath, start by gently scraping off any excess paint using a plastic scraper or an old credit card to avoid scratching the surface. Next, apply a solvent like rubbing alcohol or paint thinner on a cloth and dab it onto the stained area, allowing it to sit for a few minutes to break down the paint. Finally, wipe the area clean with a damp cloth and repeat if necessary, then rinse thoroughly with water. Always test the solvent on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won't damage the bath's finish.

After painting, seal the surface with a clear, non-toxic outdoor sealant to protect the finish and maintain safety for birds.
For a metal bird bath, it's best to use a paint specifically designed for metal surfaces, such as rust-inhibiting enamel or acrylic paint. Look for non-toxic, water-based options to ensure safety for birds. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning and priming, is essential for good adhesion and durability. Always allow the paint to cure fully before exposing it to the elements.

Over time, the leaching of copper ions can lead to toxicity, affecting the birds' health. It's best to avoid placing copper items in bird baths to ensure a safe environment for the birds. Using non-toxic materials is recommended to prevent any risk.
