Help getting lettering off Hoons?

[Dan B.]

Does anyone have a good method of removing the white Hoons lettering on the sidewalls? If anyone has a magic bullet, hit me.

+1. Add: I've used hand sanitizer to remove some paints.

I have both on hand. Thanks for the tip. Funny, when I searched it I only found a thousand threads about painting the white on.

What about painting black on? Oil based paint pens work on rubber. Just throwing that out there.

400 grit. Sand lightly, use heat to re-smooth surface.

Id go with an paint marker and flip them around so the lettering is on the inside.

I’d go full belt sander on high.

I would just hit it with the dremel and a sanding disc. I try not to waste my elbow grease.

What I use, but don't soak it crazy at all. Not where the tire beads will come apart and unglue. Use a cloth. Brake cleaner solvent works also.

Ix-nay on the aintpay enpay (unless you just happen to have a tire rubber colored pen). You'll always see the paint spot and just hate yourself.

I just tried the other suggested methods...I gave up on acetone and elbow grease after 3-4 minutes with little to nothing to show for it (I may have missed a service interval on my elbow and, as a result, am traversing the world with an under greased elbow, I don't think I did though). I switched to some 180 grit emery cloth and had one side removed in under a minute. We have a clear winner, winner, chicken dinner.

How bout just get a set of toyo proxes, look no white letter ( walaa) all done

 

[Garcbomber]

Some elbow grease uses buffers and sandpaper, others may naturally be enough


j/k it’s probably the acetone

Okay so I'll help.

1 wire wheel.
1 Dremel.
10 seconds being gentle.

Tooth paste works well also

I wanted those for awhile. If they offered these in 53/100 I’d be on these things like white on rice. Plus, they’re !!

Too many welding fumes in an enclosed area again?
