  • Removing logo's from pickups

    <font color="yellow">Is there a way to safely remove the logo's from pickups??

    I seem to remember a post a long time ago addressing this, but I can't recall when it was tho [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img].

    I have a couple of Duncans that have the logo, and I want to remove it.

    What is the best way to do that [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/help.gif[/img]??

    Thanks </font>

    I used a little bit of the old lady's nail polish remover on a cotton patch and it came off in seconds. Not too much, you don't wanna soak the coils bro. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

      I'll have to ask Mrs LPC if I can raid her stash [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

            Use BRASSO (a brass cleaner)

            Nailpolish remover can leave a slight haze

              i've heard about brasso, myself, but can't find it anywhere. bret (slo100) recommends it highly (which carries a lot of weight with me). where can you get it?

              the acetone in the nail polish remover would concern me that it would leave a bit of a haze like naptha does.

                Sully, you can get Brasso in grocery stores. Ball-Mart. Target. Places like that. Got any of them in Big D? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                    Brasso should ring a bell with Sam, he is a Marine, you know.

                        Actually, I meant the other direction: not horses, I meant that I don't think Neiman Marcus or Saks or the places like that (like you have in Dallas) carry it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                          Does nail polish remover have acetone? I thought it was isopropanol. If it does have acetone definitely beware: that stuff'll eat right through plastic if you're not careful.

                            I have used toothpaste and a Q-tip and it worked like a charm. The next dental checkup for my Duncans are in 3 months

                              hammer and chisel...instant relic'd pickup. You charge more for it if you decide to sell it becuase it will be a "custom" piece.
