<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Paint on Polyester</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> We have a Yamaha C3 (black polyester) here that has been in a practice room for several years, and was just moved to a classroom.  There are some spots/streaks of white paint on the edge of the lid, from the wall of the PR.  I have no idea how long it has been there.  It looks like it happened the last time the PR was painted; I don’t think it is from being jammed up against the wall.  Scraping the paint with my fingernail had no effect whatsoever.  Since the piano is now in a classroom, where everybody can see the paint spots, the boss wants it cleaned up.  I know poly is pretty inert, but I didn’t want to just start trying solvents.  Anybody have any experience with this?  What will remove paint but leave poly alone?
