If you want to keep it as original as possible I'd pick up some good off pro strength and see if you can pull the re paint off
Thank you Jarod! My restoration guy is planning on testing out a couple of products in a hidden place on the bike to see which might hopefully allow me to do that. I'm hoping to do some of tbe work myself, in part to save $ but also because I like to learn new skills and it will be nice for me to work on something myself that belonged to my beloved gramps.
