This is actually "N10" Dual exhaust. It is often above the tranny tunnel. Had it on a car I did, along with the big "OK"
Neat stuff, thanks Mike

Might be soda blasting.

Good call Mikey (&quot;N10&quot;)!

I was going to say the same thing Mike. Good call.

If you understand that those paint stick/ crayon marks were applied directly on bare steel B4 any primer, then sprayed over. The image is kind of locked in after stripping. However media blasting is not real forgiving if trying to save these for documentation.
On a car like this Z28, I would have chosen to use some stripper and or lacquer thinner to slowly do the fire wall. This way allot of the primer base is left in tact.
Here is the &quot;N10&quot; notice all the gray primer that bled through the caryon mark.

And the Big yellow &quot;OK&quot; over top of &quot;Z21&quot;

Good call on the N10 and looks like a big OK in the upper right corner above the D80.

Re: 1969 Yellow Yellow Z28 RS project
 

The firewall was stripped with soda. We've had good results with that process. I agree with Mike. Laquer thinner works well also. Media destroys the marks.

Thanks guys. Good information for when I dive into my 63

The firewall in the photo was stripped with plastic and that is all we use. It has worked good for us as long as you are careful and take it off slowly.

Boy Rick, that is clear as day! Is that for an LS5 or 6?

Re: 1969 Yellow Yellow Z28 RS project
 

LS6.

I stripped Mark Mitchells 70 Z28 with plastic and had the exact same results. Unfortunately I wrote over all of the shadow marks with a sharpie and then took the photos so you will only see the sharpie markings.
