I've had good luck on some pre-lettered cars using Solvaset and a pencil eraser. If you work slowly and keep at it, the lettering will dissolve away and be rubbed out, but the paint will remain good.

I modified a bunch of cheap 027 cars this week. Anyone know how to remove stamped lettering without damaging the plastic underneath? Here is a link to another site where I posted pictures of some of my work today while I was sick:
