Some recent comments on the Charge Splashback's excellent looking decals triggered me to ask a question I have been thinking about for a while now ...
Has anyone managed to successfully and permanently remove (i.e. not hide with a sharpie) tyre logos ?
I am quite liking the Conti range of tyres at the moment but the logos are large and not often applied neatly - I would much rather have a blank tyre wall (even on non retro stuff).
So far I have tried non acetone nail polish remover and all I found with this was that the conti logos are actually a large square coloured area that then has black printed onto it to form the text. The remover only removes the black and leaves the coloured area in place ... :-(
Now I know it's there, if you look very closely you can see the outline of the coloured area under the thin layer of black. I am pretty sure the Michelin tubs on my road bike are manufactured the same way so maybe this is common practice ?
So any ideas ? Lets get experimenting ...
