Removing Paint Fill

[iacas]

OK, bit of an odd question.

The paint fell out of the "5" on my 5-iron today. I like how it looks, and was considering removing the paint anyway. That black paint is adding too much to my swing weight.*

So, anyway, I'd like to remove the black paint from the rest of my clubs. How can I do so easily and safely, without scratching my clubs up? Paint thinner or nail polish remover or something like that?

* I'm joking..

According to golfworks.com, "Using any sharpened instrument like a dental pick or nail, carefully etch the engravings or stampings, removing most of the original paint."

Yeah, that's what I did the other day. Worked great.

I like the look.

That's funny. I just bought a set of Mizuno MP-14s and I want to add paint fill to some of the stampings where the paint has worn. The best stuff to use is supposed to be something called "Lacquer-Stik" but I can't find it locally.
