Hi guys
I just picked up a JL Firebird and a Vega. I want to know if there is any way of removing the numbers on the roofs with out damage to the body or discoloration.
Thanks
Bill

I have not tried it, but I understand if you use nail polish remover and a Q-tip, and are very careful it can be done...

Hi Bill,

I always use an automotive polishing compound for tampo printing removal. It just takes away the tampo paint, but doesn´t affect the lacquer below (other than increasing its shine... ;-)).

E.g. I did the same with one of my JL Vegas´ roof number:

Hey Claus

I tried the polishing compound on the Vega. It worked ok for me. You can still see a very faint #3 on the Roof, but boy is it shiney. I may try the nail polish remover on the Firebird next to see how that does.

Thanks for the tips guys

Personally I've tried a product for cleaning CD's and it has worked well...and also to remove small scratch...
Check it here http://slotcar.zanzaman.com/tip_removetampo.html

I use testors air brush paint thinner and a q-tip...works well, but if your not careful it will remove base color paint as well.

Have done the same, use it lightly and you'll be okay. rr
