I have a piece of Lexan PC that was used as a sign for a commercial retail freezer. We bought it used of a previous owner who had the sign with their logo on it. I would like to remove the logo to have it be a blank white Lexan sign. The sign itself is 81"x 8" (long and thin). There's is a thing layer of plastic covering the paint and the paint itself can come up with a little elbow grease, we discovered.
Local sign shops have quoted us at multiple hundreds of dollars to cut a new piece to these dimensions or cover it with vinyl for ~$100. I'm trying to figure out if its worth it for me to just manually scrub of the sign? Will a heat gun help left off the plastic covering? Will something like acetone remove the paint without damaging the Lexan?
