I would like to remove the paint from a previous paint job. For some reason, the previous owner/s decided to spray over this plate. Would like to remove this without damaging what lies below.
Below is a link to a Mini on ebay - with a pic of what a plate looks like.
Any ideas?

I'd try a clay bar first up. You could be lucky.

Would thinners eat away the black on the plate?

If you can take the plate off, brake fluid works well but may take a day or two. It will not remove the black but thinners possibly will. Brake fluid also works well on plastic bits light light lenses etc.
