[Milsurplus] TCS panel repaint question

[steve gajkowski]

May want to make a template so you can rest your hand and only scrape a
small area without nicking an area you want to leave alone..

Use a single edged razor blade and a VERY steady "hand".  Let the paint cure
for 3 or 4 days before starting and then hold the blade parallel to the
panel and gradually remove the paint from the lettering.  Scrape the paint
in one direction only.  That is, do not go "back and forth".

I have a friend who is ready to repaint  his TCS receiver panel after
chemically removing the paint and we noticed how shallow the raised
lettering was on this panel. Not sure now how to approach removing the paint
from the raised lettering after the panel has been re painted. My fear is
that trying to sand paper it or use a X-ACTO blade is going to scrape the
paint up on the panel because the lettering is not raised enough above the
panel face.
