CArburator cleaner sometimes works, but you have to be careful.

I do not advocate doing this but I have used MEK (methel ethel ketone) to remove paint from a painted sign before. I would pour it on a rag wipe the sign pour more on the rag and continue the proess. The original paint is usually baked on. I've done this a couple times with descent results. Just do not let the MEK sit on the sign. always test in a small inconspicuous area first though. If the sign is painted over I figure what do I have to loose?
Got Socony???

For painted signs I have used water and a razor... the water acting as a lubricant. Sign was painted with house paint. I can post before and after pictures if interested. JOhn

Here are picture of my Atlantic curb sign before and almost after.. as I still had to do the edge near the frame (I left it in the frame to lay it horizontal onto some concrete porch steps while working on it and the frame protected it from scratches). (Yes Doc your right.. that is what I get for post a picture of a sign that I have not looked at for over a year - and not looking at it... I should have double checked what it said before posting. LOL LOL)
