Hi,
I've got a 1970 series which was originally Marine Blue. Unfortunately someone has badly painted some army surplus paint on top. Does anyone know the best way to remove that paint without too much damage to the paint below?
I've attached a photo to show the paint. Any help would be appreciated.

Pressure washer.

But then just your standard off the shelf gunwash / thinners.

They (probably) won't touch the original paint but will the new stuff.

There are products specifically designed to remove paint, but which are relatively gentle on the underlying paint.
