Melting Ultracoat for paint help

[Atwood, Mark]

It won't melt the mylar, but it should dissolve the paint off of the mylar.  I'm pretty sure I've used Acetone on Ultacoat for that purpose...cut it up small and stir it up.

Acetone may work on Monocote, I didn't try that.  On Ultracote, though, 
Acetone did not work, neither did Toluene, Xylene, MEK.  This is amazingly 
resilient stuff. This would be a good property under normal circumstances.
