Bought a sign today thinking it might be a quaker state tombstone, but found this:

That's pretty cool!! What did you use to take the paint off? Paint stripper? Lacquer thinner? Or?

Took it off with Acetone. Now I'm using a heat gun to get the vinyl letters off.

Here's a noob question, is that a shell " tombstone " or a cut sign. I haven't seen one like this in my travels yet that's why I ask.

It's a tombstone. It has a stand that goes with it. I just found 1 in mint condition that sold at Barrett- Jackson auction. I'm finding out its pretty rare.

Okay thanks! I have a Sinclair HC one side cleaned great.. The other side they painted over all the black I have no idea why.. I just never attempted to really clean it but I'll give that a try, thank you!
