Governmen liquidation markings on fenders of M1008

[butch32]

What can I use to get the white crayon or whatever the white numbers and markings are, off the fenders of my m1008 that GL wrote on. Without taking the camo paint off? Butch.

Good luck on that. I found that acetone is the best for removing the GLwar paint. Unfortunately some of the paint will come off...not much though. Brake cleaner also works great. I first took a credit card and scraped off the thick stuff then went over it with a rag w/a little acetone

Ditto on the brake clean. It will wear off eventually.

I take an old toothbrush and dip it in thinner and whisk the paint away.

He used his 73Y2 on a B blank to scrape the paint off.....

If you ever want to paint over that zinc cromeate primer. The oil residue will have to be removed. I am looking at oil stains on a cammo 1028 I have and wonder if I will ever get regular enamel (ie Centari) to stick . I welcome suggestions, I do have to paint because of surface rust, this is a nice one that I have not yet worked.

I usually use a primer sealer and then coat with hardened enamal without too much sanding and surface primers, I'm in truck mode. I would welcome any tips and suggestions. A durable finish that looks good at 20 mpg is my goal, along with preservation of the truck.
