Wow, nicely done! Someone really screwed the pooch with that electric abortion of a paint job.

Thank you very much gentlemen!

To remove the paint, I tried acetone first in a small area on the dome but the paint was stubborn. I then tried the Paint stripper pictured below. This works like a charm. Spray it on the post war paint, wait 3-5 minutes and wait until the paint starts to bubble. This was the coolest part. The stripper eats away at the krylon paint or whatever paint it was. The WWII paint applird is more resilient. I applied Vaseline to protect the decal during this process. I wore rubber gloves too. Total price of the supplies? About $20 from Home Depot.
