Start with the least offensive products, and graduate up as the removal becomes more stubborn,…..try ELO ( easy lift off ) first. That might lift off the pad printed letters and or numbers, and not harm the underlying color……don’t jump to the most aggressive method first. Sometimes there’s an easier solution than sanding, then paint matching, masking, blending, blah blah blah,…..🤮…..Also there’s lots of threads related to this topic, some with solutions with pics and demos……if you do have to go the sand paper route, fashion a true square block, this way the paper is only grinding against the highest point, in your case, the pad printed digits …..using your finger with result in a non uniform pattern, and you’ll certainly burn through the base color in a heartbeat…..and then you have a wreck….
