The black you see is spray paint with heavy overspray on top of a painted sign. Nothing I tried would cut through it so I said heck with it and hit it with lacquer thinner. It's almost perfect now without harming the finish.

Not mine but I saw it for sale on ebay a few years ago.


Keep em coming ... Great clean ups on all ... I wonder if the gulftane was used as a mortar or concrete mixing board?
