That's a lot of filler Tony! I found using a heat gun and a scraper was a good way to get old filler off (in large chunks). If you want to save on making 30lbs of dust, that might be an option. Who knows what treasure you will find hidden in that save receptacle dish.

Hopefully the paint and 3M pad works for the CFR number. Frank obviously has better eyes than me, because I don't see it...haha.
