Over a few evenings, I stripped the 'Ultimate Aerial Experience' piece off, sanded, primered, and painted the piece.
Tonight, I pulled the speaker overlay off and stripped the panel. When peeling the old overlay off, the plastic would peel off with every layer of ink but the silver. The silver stayed on the metal panel, on top of the black finish. It made sense why it yellowed. It didn't seem that the inks changed color at all, but the plastic overlay material yellowed badly, like the bubble on a carded action figure from the 80s often does. Through that once clear, now yellow tinted plastic, everything looks bad.
Took several applications of very strong stripper that burned my hands a little..scraping..and rinsing with water. I used a spray can automotive paint stripper. That was the worst piece, not counting whole cabinets, that I've ever had to strip. That adhesive is a nightmare.
