Removing Logos on WV Gold

[JaxRolo]

What's the best way to remove the WV Gold logos?

The "W" and the MLB

Been trying Goo Gone but all it did was remove the yellow color.

Flip it inside out!

So, after the yellow is gone what color is it?

White

Color it in with a black sharpie

Yeah that'll look good.

Any particular reason why you want to remove it?

Put a big "RIDDELL" sticker over it.

 

 

That's only funny to Power owners.

I'm putting a Superman sticker on it

Try rubbing alcohol (99%) or acetone, though acetone might burn the plastic.

If you're putting a sticker on it, covering the white logo in dark marker will be fine.

I definitely wouldn't use any harsh chemicals that might degrade the plastic, or make it brittle.

 

If it's bleeding through your shirt, and you don't like the look, I'd look to find some black tape to cover it up. It's painted on, so removing will be tough, and leave a scar.

 

I guess you could mask it off, and use some plastic friendly spray paint.

If it's a sticker. Try auto parts supply stores. There is something car detailers and car dealers use to remove stickers such as bumper and window stickers and prior dealership logos off cars. My less than educated semi-criminal addict brother (may he rest in peace) used to work as a car detailer and he told me there was a product they used along with a hair dryer, a hard plastic scraper and a towel to remove stickers, road tar and other glue and gooey things from cars without ruining the paint job or scratching the chrome and glass. The heat from the hair dryer makes all the difference.

Quite possibly the most awkward, yet helpful post I've ever read on here.

Just get Plasti-Dip from Lowe's or Home Depot and use that. You should tape off what you don't want it on, then you can always trim it off any remaining waste. People use it to coat wheels and bumpers on cars, so it will last on a chest protector. The good thing is you can always peel it off if you change your mind. 

 

It's not a sticker from what I remember, so Goo Gone or similar chemicals probably won't work.

Whatever you do, it's still going to show, and probably not look good.  My question is; why?   My solution?  Put a compression "T" over your CP.

Sorry to all for my unfiltered sharing again. I'm not very self-aware most of the time. Apologies to anyone I offended or made feel uncomfortable.

I googled removing stickers from plastic. Lots of ideas out there. The key is what you want the original surface to look like after you remove the offending graphics and what kind of adhesive substance was used to apply the sticker to the CP. Good luck Rolo. If you are successful or not please share your results so we can all learn something.

We bought some special (not very expensive) spray paint to paint our shutters. I would think that would work on a chest protector.

Something like this would probably work. If it sticks to shutters, plastic chairs, etc. I would think it would stick to a CP. Maybe lightly sand it first.

Someone suggested wet sanding with 6-7k grit sandpaper.

 

May try that then some of this paint.

I don't think Fittske is referring to food plates. 

[JaxRolo]

So far so good. Before and after

[Majordave]

That looks pretty badass. What are you gonna put on there now?

I poked my Master Parachutist wings into my WV Gold just above the W when I had one. Your Chief Rank would look good. Do you have Surface badge or Dolphins or Wings or something? That would look cool too.
