I repainted one for the heck of it. A couple points;


-fill the well cleaned letters using a tooth pick, be sure to get in all the letter
-clean up "around" the letters with a q-tip before the pain dries- so there is less to clean up later
-a well worn scotch brite-not a new one- for the first paint removal works well-I used one wet with gun oil for initial removal
-then use a q-tip, just damp with solvent.
-If there is a part of a letter left out, you don't have go go all the way back - just add a little paint to the area missing the paint

Hope this helps.
