The combustion from the below photo is always handy at paint removal.

Yep acitone works very well. I just be sure not to get it on your skin. It will dry out the skin under your fingernails and it will hurt like HELL for a week.

Go to your local automotive parts or hardware store & buy a spray can of paint remover. Remove the caseback & place on a dry, flat surface & spray a good, thick coat of paint remover over the caseback. Wait 20 minutes (or whatever the instructions prescribe) & remove the remover & paint. If any paint remains, repeat. Really quite easy.

I have used nail varnish remover (acetone ?) with good results on both Panerai 005 and MBW Seadweller casebacks. I brushed on the liquid with fine art brush and then used a wooden toothpick to remove the softened paint from the grooves.

"Polystripper" or whatever that paint remover is called. That stuff works GREAT for removing any kind of paint or varnish.
