cleaning paint off an aluminum serial tag

Posted by SweetFeet on October 27, 2011 at 03:35:54 from (70.35.110.213):

My husband is wondering if anyone has a good method of removing paint from an antique aluminum serial tag. We want to be sure we do not damage the imprints on the tag by using buffing compounds... & want to make sure that no solution causes a chemical reaction with might darken/blacken the aluminum. We are restoring a 1931 Farmall Regular and just bought a toolbox with serial tag for it - but unfortunately, some goofball in the past did not tape it off when painting and it has serious overspray on the whole tag. Any advice would sure be appreciated.
