[Boatanchors] Repainting a NC-183D

[David Knepper]

I have the greatest confidence that someone in this group can provide me with the answer to this question:

How does one remove the white paint in the engraving prior to repainting the surfacei?   My local paint shop is concerned that when he applies the basecoat that the very shallow engraving will be filled in,  and that the result is that reapplying white artist’s paint will not be satisfactory.

I thought about stripping the front panel with paint remover.  But, what about melting the paint with a hot air gun and then use a soft metal brush to remove the paint?

No speculator, please.  I need someone who has had experience in such matters.

Thank you
