Your actions truly depend on the paint used. IF it is some form of latex use a heat gun. Practice on a part of the game that will be hidden to determine how much heat is needed. Do not use any more heat than is necessary of course. Warm it up and then use a plastic scraper. The silk screen can take the heat. If that does not work keep in mind paint removers of any type will eat the silk screen faster than it will take the white paint off....   :angry:

Give mostenbockers latex paint remover a try, I just did the same with it on a burgertime, it lifted two layers of paint without damaging the original stencil too much.
