I plan on re-naming a L&N diesel switcher to my own road name, yet keep the same paint scheme. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove just the lettering on the sides of the switcher?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike
There's no real perfect way to do this, people have had varying degrees of success using a cotton swab and: isopropl alcohol, pinesol, spit and some of the comercial paint strippers, (I've tried the alcohol and Chameleon with ok results). You could even try carefully scraping it off with a modeling knife.
The problem is that by the time you've removed the lettering you've also removed some of the underlying paint, so I would expect to have to touch up the original paint anyway.
