      How do you go about removing the paint without damaging the signage?

So far all I've used is a putty knife.  The tan paint comes off fairly easy but I don't want to remove too much till I know the best way.  I was just testing a spot to see if it was still there.  I think it helps that the sign was the first thing pained on the brick.

The kid on the left in black face is kind of creepy when nobody else looks to be in costume.

A friend of mine dad was the last sign painter in rome ga and surrounding area. He retired in 1986 and took all the template with him . He has that painted on the side of his garage and it looks great . I have not had the guts to ask him but he is in his 90s now I think I need to borrow one of his template .

I had some more time to scrape today,  The building was covered with tin in the 1980's and I'm not ready to permanently remove it yet so I every time I work on it I have to remove some tin:
