400 - 800 - 1200 - 1600 grit wet sanding until the logo comes off, don't even need to reclear it's so thick

Prob just leave it on there in case I sell it

looks excellent. an hour well spent.

Looks great. I need to lose the logo on my 3T stem, too.
Did you use acetone? Sandpaper? steel wool?

[avalonracing]

Shame that you are stuck with the ENVE logo.

[saab2000]

What's the recipe? I have a few 3T stems that need to be de-logoed.

[T.J.]

Acetone and a old kitchen sponge, you know the ones with the rough backing.

Thanks. I've got a couple days to do a couple stems. Sounds like an hour or two well spent. That stem looks way better than the original.

Much cleaner looking. Will not take long for you I'd imagine. Went much faster after I quit using the rag and used the sponge

I spent 45 min doing one stripe on one of my Deda 35 stems. Not sure when I'll have the energy to do the other 2. And not sure it's worth it on a black deda 35 stems since some of the black paint wears off.

TJ, your stem looks badazz tho.

Hour well spent...the stem complements the bike darn well!

[wooly]

The stem and entire bike are hotttt. Nice work.

Nail polish remover (easy source of acetone) makes reasonably quick work
removing the logos on the deda rs1 and rs2 series alloy parts too.
I've done a couple of seat posts.

both the 3t pro and team alloy stems have the paint on top of the ano, so it
comes off clean. The pro series alloy bars can have graphics removed easily too.

You can also just soak the whole stem in acetone and come back an hour later and wipe.
