E.C.U. potting/protector removal

Use a heat gun. Heat the material up gradually until its very soft. Then, use a cleaner with methyl Hydrate in it (Rubbing alcohol) and gently wipe off the material. Do not overheat or rub harshly. Go slow and it will come off without damaging the paint.
This is the method I am going to try first.
Thanks for the good advice.
