Quick Question
I just picked up a '72 K20.When I opened the glove box door,I noticed the previous owner painted over the sticker while redoing the dash.Is there anything that I can use to remove the paint that would leave the factory printing legible?
Thanks in advance! |

Re: Quick Question
72's have a clear plastic sheet over the spid, perhaps very careful paint thinner on a rag might expose it. welcome to the board.

Re: Quick Question
Hi and welcome to the forum!
You might want to, in moderation, take some mineral spirits on a rag and carefully try to clean it off. However, chances are that if the paint was a lacquer based paint, a chemical reaction may have occurred and the paint may have vulcanized (melted) into the protective plastic tape on the SPID label. Chances are, the paint won't come off completely. But if you are able to clean the SPID off well enough to read the printing, member chipflyer, can reproduce it for you for a cost. He makes dead-on reproductions. That's what I'd do.

Re: Quick Question
some Goof Off may also work its gentle at removing paint.
