[R-390] Front panel paint removal

[Walter Wilson]

Yes, the "Aircraft" grade paint remover is best.  Then for the tough stuff
that doesn't want to come out of the engraved lettering, I use a brass
bristle brush (the toothbrush style brush).  Don't dare try steel or
anything harder than brass.

> Yes, I know Walter has done many of these and they do look great (at least
from the pictures I've seen).  I figure he will chime in with some
suggestions although I haven't heard much from him on this list lately.  Too
much banter for him perhaps?
