I'm not sure what paint stripper will do to the black on the aluminum. Any advise? Thanks 36 Chevy 1.5 ton - rusting away 52 Chevy 3100 - in progress 72 Chevy K20 - DD PANTS UP DON'T LOOT!

I was able to take the paint off with a razor blade ID plate pic After the razor blade I cleaned it with some thinner and a rag The original plate is silk screened I think. Only a little bit of the edges came off. The S/N is stamped on the plate. Good Luck DADS50 YouTube 1950 chevy 3100
