Hey guys, I want to take the smoking symbol off of my car lighter and am not sure how I should go about it. I was hoping if anybody had any suggestion on how to do, should I go ahead and use paint thinner or what? Any help is appreciated. I am not a smoker and that symbol is bothering me. Thanks.

 

I would try a little bit of accetone. Maybe water it down a little so it doesn't eat the plastic. You could also try some super fine sandpaper.

 

Thanks for the reply, I will see what happens.

 

Acetone will soften it almost instantly, causing the white from the symbol to melt in with the black plastic, causing you a headache and an unsightly look. better would be a weaker paint thinner, or just use some black spray paint

 

Or you can go buy a new cig lighter that doesnt have that on it. They make aluminum ones and lots of diff. styles.

 

You could remover the lighter entirely and put in a useful guage or something.

 

Or you can take up smoking and get some use out of it...
