How to remove paint from SPID?

[cam.man67]

As the title implies, the PO of my '69 painted over the SPID in black (actually, he painted over the entire dang interior in black ) . is there any way to get the paint off so I can see what options were originally spec'd on this truck?

Thanks.

you could always try this stuff called air craft stripper just make sure you dont get it on anythign else ( best paint remover i have ever used)

I guess we would need to know if it still has the plastic over the paper. If it does try using a rag dampened with reducer!

dont use aircraft stripper whatever u do there will b nothing left of the spid


i'd try starting with gently using rubbing compound then i'd follow with plasticx by maguires

As far as I know, the plastic is still over it (there are air bubbles under the paint).

This makes the most sense, by far.

I used lacquer thinner...the plastic was still on it.....worked great
