If it is really white out, as in Liquid Paper, then any solvent safe to clean your gun with should remove it.

try carb cleaner, I once dunked a field stripped Browning HP in a bucket of Gunk thinking it'd be a fast way to clean the gun....it removed the factory white paint on the front sight, oops

Thanks guys - i used some CLP and a old toothbrush.
Let it soak then scrubbed for about 30sec's - It came off nice.
