I want to get the sideart back. What suggestions do you have?

Ok.
I've got a Smash TV arcade and am looking to get the sideart back.
It seems that the sides were painted 2 to 3 times with black paint.
Does anyone happen to have any suggestions?
 
Strip off the black paint with citrus strip or some type of non toxic stripper.. Use a plastic scraper.. Don't expect it to be perfect under all that paint, if your lucky it's just a few light coats of latex.
 
I've tried goo gone and its not budging the paint.
Is the citrus strip that your suggesting the same as goof-off?
 
Be very careful NOT to follow the instructions. Since you are not trying to strip all the way down to the wood only leave the citrus strip on for about 5 minutes and no longer than 10 minutes before scrapping it off gently. If done right you can maintain the vinyl underneath quite well. It will leave a sticky residue behind that you will need to use mineral spirits to clean it away. As you can see the metal vinyl on the bottom of the cab came out good from under the black paint..
