Thanks for the kind words as I join this discussion.
So how did the Chem Lab experiments go? Any results?
From a personal point to view: I am assuming this is an epoxy paint due to its hardness. Some time ago I used dichloromethane to dissolve an epoxy encapsulant used on some LEDs on a biomedical implant to inspect the gold wire bonds. It did work.
