i found that te paint under the backplate and the pickguard is not very good so i found that a good thing to do is to sand that paint take all that paint out and also paint those cavities with a special paint that reduce the noise of the single coils.

What do you think???

Nothing as it does not affect form, fit or function.

Leave the paint. It is a waste of time and effort to remove it. If you are concerned about too much hum, sheild it using copper foil. The sheilding paint does not work as well.

Typical MIM strat. Shielding paint always helps single coil sound cleaner. Some people prefer that feeback sound, Buddy Guy is one of those famous Strat players who likes the noise...
