My husband made a small tray out of aluminum foil, then placed the serial tag in tray and poured mineral spirits over it (used this because we thought it was more gentle than some other chemicals). He let soak it overnight - then brushed very LIGHTLY with a brass brush to help score the oversprayed paint a bit. After that, soaked it 24 hours and brushed it each night with a nylon brush. Repeated this process daily, for about one week. Finally when we considered it clean enough,I very gently cleaned more paint from in between the letters on the tag with a very small exacto knife. (We took it from total red overspray to fairly-well readable... then stopped so we did not remove all the black background paint of the tag, since we do not want to restore it to perfection as our old tractor will be kept pure rust, so want the tag to look a bit on the rough side as well).
