yeah, i'm using the blade to literally scrape off the re-printed image. it's
the same rules and technique as shaving. be sure to use a very sharp blade, and
move it in clean, light strokes. keep the strokes going in one direction.
brasso will remove the paint without a trace, but it's hard to use when trying
to get these tiny selective removals. ~practice getting this light touch on a
timmie head!
