• Bumping this as I need want to remove the logos from a Miche Primato left hand crank arm.

    I've stupidly fucked the left hand arm from my Campy Pistas and using one of the many Primato lh arms that I have at my disposal seems like the best option for replacing it and I think if I can get the branding off it'll be a close enough match to not look horribly out of place.

    Acetone won't remove the silver anodising underneath the (presumably) printed logos will it?

  • Chances are the logos are printed on top of the lacquer so you might be able to scrape them off with some sort of plastic scraper like a bank card.

    Acetone will likely work however if you rub too hard, it might remove the layer of lacquer as well, leaving the raw alloy below open to the elements & oxydation

  • Ah cool, I'll give that a shot then.

    I have a few lh arms at home but there's tons more at work from all the cranksets we changed out for being cracked (only affects the driveside crank arm luckily) and I think some of them may already have the logos a bit worn actually.

  • Couldn’t shift them with anything plastic so tried the edge of a small steel rule which left some scratches in the finish so then tried another with the edge of a piece of brass and that seems to have done a pretty good job.
