I think that it *can* be done very nicely if someone is not as impatient as I can be sometimes.

Dave, I also decided to remove the coating versus sending it back. I have been flaking it off with my finger and lifting the flakes with cellophane tape, VERY CAREFULLY. Underneath it is smuggy from the paint application. Do you think the denatured alcohol will smooth the finish, or have you tried very fine sandpaper, or what?

I've gotton about 2/3 of it off the front with just flaking and scratching with my fingernails so it doesn't mar the surface.

Please keep in touch so we can get to a beautiful endproduct.
