I've got a Firestone ladie's tank and it was really painted over. Originally, i couldn't even see the name or the striping on it. I tried to get the nasty layer off with denatured alcohol....no success. I switched to acetone and while it takes the paint off, I'm concerned that it will take the striping off (and name) with it. Is there something in between that will help me get down to the original detail on the tank without losing it. Anybody ever try Kerosene?? I'm guessing the nasty paint is some oil based brush on, that has been on there for years. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
