[ARC5] Cleaning Painted Plug Pins on ARC 5 Rack?

[David Stinson]

Tom:
I have a few replacement plugs.
I'll trade you plug for plug.  I'll experiment
with getting the paint off without messing up the mica.
That will probably be easier than trying to clean the
ones the depot doo-fuss sprayed.
It will take me a few days to find them in "The Cave."
Send me your address.  You'll need to figure some way
to get the plugs off without booggering-up the locking rings.

The entire rack had been oversprayed...   I don't know for sure but it looks like the paint used is of the Rustoleum or Krylon type.  This is a 3-receiver rack, so there are a lot of plug pins to clean!!
