Re: removing YOTH logo on back of trailer

Maybe some diluted model paint thinner? Though I don't know what that will do to the clear plastic. I only suggest it as I was able to remove black paint from my Generations BB for my Nightbeat parts swap using a Gundam eraser pen, which I believe is diluted or weakened thinner.

That being said my customization skills are pretty amateur level so maybe an experienced customizer can weigh in?

I did mine with a white Staedtler eraser. Took a long time, but it worked

I also recall removing paint from a universe 2.0 legends rodimus with nail polish remover. Maybe that would work in this case too? Smelled like crap though, lol...

Wouldn't polish remover degrade the plastic?

The plastic was fine except it lost all gloss to it.

Pink eraser trick

I use staedler myself.

It also does not affect the sheen.

Yeah, try eraser before trying any alcohol or anything else. Particularly when it comes to clear plastic, which in my experience turns brittle with even a bit of alcohol.
