I recently got a used g&g combat machine to set up as a backup but I can't stand the hideous trademarks. Anyone know of a good way to remove them? They seem to be sort of printed on but a razor scraper didn't seem to get under them very well.

Sanding is an option I considered but I'd rather not risk messing up the surface if possible.

Acetone should work. Put some on a cotton ball and it should rub off. I use Acetone to take sharpie off my disc golf discs and it works fine.

I've already tried mineral spirits and denatured alcohol and neither one worked, so I doubt that acetone will do the trick but I'll give it a try when I get a chance. I'm starting to lean towards just sanding them off and refinishing it with 1000+ grit sandpaper.

You could try some Brasso, its a metal polish but works great for removing printed stuff from plastic. Just put some on a rag and rub away, might take a little time but it shouldn't harm the plastic at all.

If all else fails, a base coat of tan will take care of the trades. Looks great, too.  |

Ha, no. I wish. Just the first good image that popped up when I Googled "tan base coat AR." I'd trade everything that I own for that Block I M4 though..... *EDIT* Either Block 1....  |

^^^ I agree, that is literally exactly what I did with my combat machine when I had it.
