Hi: Bill, i stripped a searchlight car frame using brake fluid. Worked great and then you can build up your paint from the base material and not have to feather the edges of the old paint. Once you've made the decision that you're gonna repaint it, you might as well get rid of the old stuff so it cannot cause you problems in the future. Word of caution, only use the brake fluid on metal bodies. I have not tried this on any plastic materials but I suspect it would not be friendly to them.
As stated in an earlier post, there are good sources for stamps or decals to reinstall the lettering. Have fun.
