one thing i like to use to remove stubborn factory lettering is one a few things. 1200 grit finishing sandpaper. gently rub on the lettering, and depending on manufacturer, it should come off without harming the paint underneath. or, use chameleon paint stripper on a q-tip, but do not soak the q-tip with this stuff, too much will strip the paint underneath, just lightly dampen the q-tip with chameleon, and lightly rub the lettering unitl it is gone!! with the sandpaper, use small pieces for each letter, as the paint will wear away the fine grit on the paper, it takes time, but i have been successful with this method, it works real well on kato units. 91% rubbing alcohol with a q-tip is a good one too! i do custom painting, so i try everything. check out my site at www.northeastrailworks.com. good luck to all! <br /> <br /> matt
