Lettering Removal – The Story…. With Photos!!!

Hi Dave,

I tried out "Fast Orange" today on my Athearn Locos.  It works great.

I let it soak first, over the lettering I wanted removed.  Q-tips and gently working the lettering removed the paint.  I noticed that, as you mentioned, the lettering is relatively thick, so even if you don't see the lettering being removed, look at the Q-tip and you will see the paint lifting off.  Follow the scrubbing with a water rinse (again, via a Q-tip), and then dry.  One loco done in about a half hour.  A few pix for you, including a before and after.

Going to try the Kato car now.

Happy Father's Day!
