an ink eraser is your regular rubber pencil eraser with an abrasive added. they can be found in the school supplies section of the store next to the pink ones that erase pencil marks. <br /> <br />they erase ink on paper by "sandpapering" off the ink and top layer of paper. <br /> <br />gently use the ink eraser to "erase" just the numbers you want to remove. the new decals you apply will cover the "dull spot" left from the process. if you screw up, the dull spot can be rubbed out with first red than white automotive rubbing compound. <br /> <br />if the numbers you want to remove are actually decals: first soften with a strong decalset (champion brand is good) and wa***hem off. champion decals would be another source for your new numbers.
