We now spotted the word Goodyear on it through the white paint. Was there ever a blue and red Goodyear logo?

don't worry Cormy, you didn't miss out on anything. After a few hours of scraping I am starting to believe the doubters that said this sign may be shot. The grey paint is coming off no problem but there is a layer of white (may be primer) that by the time I get it removed may wipe out the original paint on the sign

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I plan on it Mark, I am going to try a few chemicals along the edges first and see how that goes. I had some luck on the edges with goof off and nail polish remover but the field seems like it binded to that white paint more strongly than the edge.
This sign is 7' wide....kinda reminds me of when I landscaped as a kid, someone once asked a co-worker about a new lawn we had to go cut, he asked is it a big lawn and the reply was no but I still wouldn't want to count the blades of grass.
This might be a long term project

...I wouldn't go too close to the actual edge - that just makes it easier for the stripper to got straight to bare metal...
