Fat Franks logo removal

[char]

Hi everyone, got some cream Fat Franks, that I think would look nicer if the logos were removed from the side walls.Whats the safest way to remove them, without damaging the tyre.Any tips?

Cheers Charlie

Perhaps a belt sander with some 60 grit paper on it? Maybe some zipp strip used lightly and some steel wool?

ive heard a heat gun(or maybe a hair dyer....although i dont know if itd get hot enough) will get them right off.

since were on the subject of logo removal anyone know how to get felts lettering off(tried heat gun and no luck tried sanding and itll work but it takes a ton of rubber off to get to the lettering :x )?

I have scrubbed some off bike chain store brand tires with 0000 steel wool before, but no guarantee it will work for you. If your tires have a shiny finish, don't even try. :|

That Is exacly what i think this tires are not cheap so i personaly will not mess with them :!:

If these logo are silk screened on there is a good chance that little bit of goof off would take them right off. I don't know how it would react with the rubber so you might want to test it first.

Thanks for the help everyone.I don't want to damage the tyres as they are expensive.I don't mind the logos, but I just think it would look a little bit nicer and older looking.I will take care and give all suggested a go.Thanks again.

I've removed logos off tires with 100 grit sand paper and water.

i would say some cheap flat black(not satin, flat) and just paint over the offending logos, but thats cheesy and wont work well on cream tires. :lol: sandpaper and soapy water is your best bet, maybe try 220 or 200.

Haha, we have the God given right not to ride around advertising what parts are on our bike. But it seems like the more money you spend on a product the more logos its shows.

How about the Hank tires? They have a very thin sidewall, supposed to make it ride better. The logo looks kind of like a sticker, guess its a silk screen. Might have to just paint over them but i would like to sand/polish them off. Anybody want to chime in on these tires?

I always have the white letters put inside when they mount tires for my cars.
