hi guys.  My NBA Showtime cabinet is painted black on both sides.  I peeled off al little paint yesterday and guess what...full side art!!!  Some of the paint peels off and is similar to a black garbage bag once it starts peeling.  Peeling this off with my fingernails is so tedious.  WHat can I do to get this paint off easier?

If you can do it with your fingernails, I wouldn't use chemicals.  A blowdryer would work wonders, I would think.  Just don't spend too long in any spot, otherwise you may take the sideart you're trying to save with it.
