VIN and paint removal

Hey everyone,

I thought I sent this earlier, but didn't see it show up to the list.

We made it to CA and as I plan to register my cars, I've run into a problem. CA 
verifies the VIN. You actually have to take the car to the DMV. Here's the 
problem, the previous owner painted the entire engine compartment -- including 
the plate with the VIN.

Would this information be anywhere else? I'm guessing not.

So far, I've tried to remove the paint with no luck. I've used acetone, paint 
thinner, and coca cola. I also tried scraping it off with a screwdriver, which 
did work, but I fear damaging the VIN. So, any other ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Alix
