Spray Paint Removal From SPID

Great site, learning alot about these great trucks. You can see my problem. 1970 CST with the SPID some what painted over with black spray paint. I would like to try and remove the paint without messing up the SPID. The SPID is not covered with plastic. Any suggestions??

1) Keep that original glove box.
2) Have ChipFlyer make a new SPID.
3) Put the new SPID on a replacement glove box door.
4) Enjoy!

No hope for that one, get a new one made.

Re: Spray Paint Removal From SPID

Check out the link in Jeff's (chipflyer) signature. Do just like DANTIP says, get another door, save the old one, and put the repro SPID on the other door. Jeff's SPID's are amazingly accurate, the font is perfect. The font is not something you can simply replicate in word, it is a special font.

My goal is to try and see what options it originally came with. I can make out some but not all. Will definitely put a new one on but need to know what to put on it.

Re: Spray Paint Removal From SPID

Would the ink from the options be visible from the back side if I removed the SPID?

Re: Spray Paint Removal From SPID

Can you make out any rpo numbers or any of the descriptions? Can't see anything from that pic, doubt you would see anything if you removed it.

One more. Yes I have been able to make out about 9-10. Kind of piecing them together based on what I can see.
