It looks like crap and I want to remove it. I tried a dremel tool with a soft pad but that is dulling the paint. Would 2000 grit sand paper damage the paint if used very soft? Any suggestions??

If it's truly compound it should break down chemically without getting physically aggressive.....

I've got paint flaking in my louvers where they were not prepped correctly before repaint. Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...
