My wife is at the bar with the girls, my son is at grandma's house.

Got some time to work out in the garage with out any disrations (sp) ! :p anyway I got this old radio that works I think I am going to test after this post ! Anyway here is my questions !
Here i have in the pic below the face of a stock radio !
What is the material that it is made up of?
How do I get the plastic number part out ?
I was thinking of powder coating it to see how it would come out !
So any help would be great ! Thanks Landon
