Tried that, and isopropyl alcohol, and it didn't work.
Does the nail polish remover have to be with acetone (mine is non-acetone)? Also... How do you pop out the arms in the first place for the T connector? Is it simply the boil and pop or hairdryer method?

I've used acetone successfully...but don't do it!! It can discolor the surfslace below or wreck other stuff.
I read that someone used an eraser to remove Bazooka's jersey numbers. Probably tough work, but a logo's easier than that. |

according to M_renegade turpentine works nicely (when used sparingly)

use sand paper 1000 grit or 1500 should remove it without problems. Then to give the proper gloss either varnish or use a little of polisher.

I use GoJo Orange Pumice hand cleaner from auto parts store. They are exellence remove any type of paint and it leaves a good smell. Remember Bottle must say "Pumice" otherwise, it won't work.
Here is the custom figure that I mainly used GoJo to remove the camo. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...w-serpent.html Last edited by tuan_tran73; 03-28-2010 at 07:24 PM.. |

Unlike nail polish or alcohol, the best/advantage about GoJo is they don't damage or melt the plastic because there is no alcohol involve.
