I've recently begun work on a DAC90A, and, among other things, I need to repaint the metal scale backing plate. The original paint is flaking off and my question is 'What would be the best way to remove all the paint? With tat completely removed, I could then either spray or brush paint a new coat of similar white paint. The rear of the plate is also partially tarnished, but I may either leave that as it is, as I'm not sure how best to proceed with that other than to possibly respray it it metallic silver or something similar. B.t.w, I don't have access to ultrasonic cleaners or anything of that sort.
