Nobody454 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 easy off oven cleaner...really...you'll have to experiment, usually takes lettering and pinstripe off and leaves the factory paint alone Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69415-painted-lettering-removal/#findComment-492888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 easy off over cleaner. put it on the letters and let it sit for 20 minutes or so.

mowerman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have done it with lacquer thinner before… but the oven cleaner is probably a lot less worrisome ha ha bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69415-painted-lettering-removal/#findComment-492978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My father always uses polish or rubbing compound. It does leave a ghost of it and I’m sure takes off the base paint around it.

mechohaulic Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 never did the oven cleaner, imagine it's trial and error depending on how much / thick letters etc are. first trip cleaning doesn't do 100% , a second soaking safe? how close to the 20 mins +- Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69415-painted-lettering-removal/#findComment-494467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbb1 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Ohhh it was right in that time frame, these were thick letters so it took a bit, I would try a corner with a old Bondo putty knife that's what I used to wipe them off as it is plastic and didn't tear up the red underneath.. now its move on to finding parts, wanna dual stack and start buying aluminum wheels and conversion hubs.. I'm making a list and checking it twice haha Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69415-painted-lettering-removal/#findComment-494501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
