Sounds like a decal removal not a painted on as the OP has described he has??
I tried the oven cleaner but would not take off the 30 some year old paint that was on my transom. I ended up using a razor blade at low angle and slowly got it off. Followed up with wet sanding. Covered over the whole thing with a decal with a border. There was just too much difference between the two surfaces to mask. Good luck!
