    I've heard that paint thinner works really well... I would try that first!

    +1 Varsol or other thinner. VFR's brake fluid suggestion will probably work too.

    Re: Removing paint

    Chemicals do seem like the best solution, I'll give that a try this weekend. Thanks.

    Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.

    Re: Removing paint

    One other option would be Langka's Blob Eliminator -- I keep a bottle around in case I botch a touch-up job on the bike or car. Essentially it will remove anything that isn't baked on by the factory, and since it doesn't affect the lustre of factory paint at all, I doubt it would do anything to a metal puck.

    Where does one obtain this Blob Eliminator?

    Two places I know of -- either directly from Langka (http://www.langka.com) or eShine carries it as well and is in Canada (http://www.eshine.ca)

    I should also note it is 'time sensitive' -- the longer the paint has sat the harder it will be to remove (or may not come off at all). With that said, I did mess up on the car years ago and was able to take off the excess touch-up paint after about a week or so.
