Hi, I'm new here and need advice. How would I go about removing the flame tampo from Generations Tracks? It is a little diffferent than the other tampos I've removed because it is a little raised. I'm afraid sanding could get messy because of the vents. Would dipping it in alcohol or Pinesol do the trick? How about rubbing it with paint thinner? I also need to get the paint off of Wheeljack but I think a rubbing with paint thinner will take care of that.

 

Welcome to TFW2005!

I have no idea how well this would work, since it does sometimes work, but not always, but you could just try rubbing it really hard with a pencil eraser. It would take a lot of work, but (if it works) it wouldn't require any chemicals, which in my opinion would make it worth the physical effort.

 

Use 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol (90% if the tampo is being stubborn), a cotton swap, and some elbow grease.

Thanks! I'm asking because this tampo is slightly raised and seems more stubborn than most. I guess I'll go the alcohol route first.

 

Honestly, I'm not sure if it was just the Tracks I got or if it's all of em, but it was a pain in the tailpipe to try to remove these flames. My usual bag of tricks really didn't work well, and I even resorted to Easy Off for the first time. I eventually ended up getting most of them off, but there was still some residue left. I ended up painting over what little bit of trace was left, and it's still barely noticeable. The flame sticker I used covered most of it though.
