If you want to creep up (ref. your other thread ; ) on removing that black paint on the hood, I would start with goof off. And if that doesn't do it, then mineral spirits. And if that doesn't work, lacquer thinner will. You have to be careful though because lacquer thinner will eventually want to take off your original paint. On one of my trucks, the person painted over some areas that they had put bondo. They were much more liberal with the spray paint than necessary. So I removed it and will be touching up the spots. You could do something similar.
