paint removal

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to remove paint from a sulcata shell....I recently was given another sulcata but she has some paint on the top of her shell (I guess to mark who she was) and I want to remove it without hurting her...any ideas?

RE: paint removal

Ive seen EgyptianDan recommend using Acetone on a rag and rub it on to the paint. Its a slow process but will work. You can also use a toothbrush to gently scrub it off.

RE: paint removal

I would stay away from any kind of chemical.
You'll have this guy for MANY years, it'll come off on it's own
