the ghosting left by the old lettering will likely require a new paint job on the metal.


I'm trying to clean it and then repaint. Laying down primer today.

Brake cleaner and elbow grease. Apply the cleaner to an abrasive sponge and then scrub. Should remove everything. Wash with water and then prime and paint.
