Re: Anyone know how to remove paint from VIN tag?
I have an update on how to remove the paint from a VIN tag. I've tried several methods from lacquer thinner, to steel wool, to Goof-Off, and more. I was able to easily remove the paint using Jasco Premium Paint & Epoxy Remover. It goes on thick and didn't run down the side of the door pillar.
I taped off the area around both VIN tags using several layers of painter's tape. I placed a rag down on the bottom of the sill just in case of any spills. After applying the paint remover, I could see immediate results. It was supposed to sit for 15-minutes, but 5-minutes was all that was needed. Two light applications did the trick. Check out these videos after applying the paint remover for only minutes. You can see it working. I will also attach pictures of before, during application and after.

Re: Anyone know how to remove paint from VIN tag?
That turned out great!! Really nice job! Even got the paint out from the deep spots around the rivets. Tags look like they had never been painted. Awesome!
