Good silkscreen is very tough, we had some boards with component 
outlines printed on the pads and we couldn't remove it even with solder 
iron.

What I did with some success is to use very fine wet sandpaper (I used 
1000 grain/mm2) and carefully sand it off. The soldermask is much 
thicker and it won't wear off but the white paint will. You also get a 
cool looking matte PCB.
