Removing paint, but not the finish

[Jono Bolton]

As it turns out, the scratchplate on the 50s Precision is white and has been painted black. What would be the best method to try and remove it? Some of it got on to the bass itself underneath the plate, how can I get it off without damaging the poly finish?

[Jono Bolton]

I got the paint off the body of the bass using nail polish remover, but any suggestions on the scratchplate? It's very thick.

Amazing! Thanks!

You'll have to let us know if it works.

Yes, let us know. I suspect it will depend on the type of paint.

That's really good to know. However; I think I'd wear gloves if it does that to paint!
