Re: [VAL] Paint; 1956 Caravanner



    Kevin,

    You're going to laugh when you read what I'm about to suggest but you
might try very hot water from your garden hose to soften the acrylic paint
enough to carefully remove it with a stiff brush or a plastic scrubby with a
little Joy liquid or equivalent.  Test a small piece in the kitchen under
your sink faucet to develop a system.  If it turns out to be latex, so much
the better, it even softens more under hot water.  You might end up finding
the old Zola-Tone to be in good enough shape to use again.

    Good luck,
