I've found that the neatest way to do this is to use a motor tool (in
the US it's a 'Dremel tool') with a conical grinding cylinder.

Dave,
Look at that area very carefully using a light held at an oblique angle.
The masking tape may be there, but completely covered with paint.
If it is not there, scrape with a knife and then sand a little. That
paint is tough and it will take a while to sand through it. Sanding is
OK, but scraping with the blade of a knife is much easier and faster.

I’m having *HUGE* fun building the KX3 which I received yesterday.
BUT… I’m now scratching my head on page 20 of the assembly manual.
This page shows various views of the bottom cover and the need to
remove the paint masks, as I’ve already done for the top cover. The
small leftmost illustration (immediately above “Figure 25” on the
page) indicates that there should be a small mask on the left end (as
viewed in the illustration) corresponding to a much larger mask on the
right end.
On my bottom cover, this isn’t there. I’ve removed all the other
masks - inside and out - but there is no mask to remove in the
indicated position. And because there’s no mask, there’s paint where
there should be bare metal.
