No I lost it... I think I left it at my parents house somewhere. Thanks for reminding me though!!!
I have a moroso trans pan sitting here too that I almost sold twice in desperation for money... I guess I better get that done eventually too before I really do sell it and regret it.

Hmmm, I just used goof-off and it took me maybe 10 min at the most.

Whatever you do, don't use nail polish remover. As mentioned above it takes forever I bought some because it says it has acetone in the ingredient list, but the concentraction must be too low. It barely worked at all.

I switched to brake cleaner half way through and it came off like nothing. Sit there with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge and whenever any drips onto the paint get it right away. The tape thing is a great idea, but all it really does is trap a bunch of cleaner behind it and hold it there the whole time you're doing the badges. It's not like acetone or brake cleaner can't soak through tape. Ask me how I know.

I think brake cleaner would be faster, but I just masked my badges off real well and used acetone....seemed a little safer to me. I Q-tipped that sumbeatch to death and it took me about 45 min for each side. My wife looked at me like I was out of my damn mind.....

turned out perfect though....

when I did it I did a pretty thick layer of tape to prevent soak thru.....Badges came out mint, and took no time at all...
