creation88 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 What's the best (easiest, safest) way to remove the black paint from an MBW 1665 case-back? Any advice would be welcome... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendo22 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that you just use some nail polish remover to remove the paint? Someone should chime in to confirm but that's what I would suggest. I don't know if you need to use a brush of some kind to really get in there, I know I've used a needle to scrape out polishing compound when I've polished a caseback and the excess got into the printing. My 2 cents, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Go to your local autoparts store and purchase a can of paint stripper. Spray on, wipe off, toothpick in the tight spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Make sure when you use the paint stripper or acetone (works equally as well) you do this in a well ventilated place. I have remooved the paint on a coupls of 1665's and I almost killed myself trying to do it in my shop. I moved outside to a picnic table and it was much better. Save those brain cells!! We need all we have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
