I agree completely with Marvin on the technique and cautions: be careful and quick.

You might want to try solvents other than acetone to find one that is the most effective (i.e. affects the paint more than the bakelite).

Try a little solvent on the back of the grip (where any problems will not later show) before using it on the paint. It is unlikely, but the last thing you want is to find that your chosen solvent destroys the bakelite but leaves the paint....

Best regards,

Bob
