What are they using to strip the paint, yet preserve the crayon markings?

Might be soda blasting.

Good call Mikey (&quot;N10&quot!

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.

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

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

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