KWA Orange tip removal (KWA M1911)

Alright, so I just got that 1911, Works like a charm (despite the fact that i can only get roughly 2 shots from it being so cold at the moment) My main concern is the 'painted' Orange tip, its been done over with a black paint marker, but it still looks like the guns slide tip was dipped into a barrel of molten gorilla ass.

What i've heard :

1 KWA tips are 'really' hard to remove, so sanding and repainting is the best bet.

If so, what paint should I use to repaint the slide? I dont have a working airbrush at the moment. But I do have access to Krylon/Rustoleum paints.

This is the least wanted option

2 Regular 'nail polish' removers work.

I've only seen this said once or twice, but i'm concerned about destroying the matte black finish beneath the slide.

More preferred method

3 Any other suggestions?

If theres any KWA owners out there that've successfully redone their 1911/glock or whatever. please help!

Thanks.
