How to remove "Master Replica" logo off saber?

[Ripcode]

I have a MR Luke V2 saber.

Has anyone safely removed the info printed on the bottom of the hilt?

If so, how did you do it??

I´d try acetone

Yep, nail polish remover will whisk it right off. It also will remove the weather they do on the sabers as well to leave a nice shiny chrome/gold finish.

you could test swab a little lighter fluid?

I think a photographic spot tone brush would give better control.

spot brush.

I just removed the letters with Lighter fluid and a Q-Tip. Nice tip!

(it was on a Force FX Anakin saber)

Acetone, denatured alchol, lacquer thinner did NOT work! :unsure

On examination under a magnifying glass I found the problem.

The logo info is NOT painted on..... it is laser etched into the metal.

So I sanded it off. :eek

Ta-da! The weathering has begun! :lol
