    So I did a bunch of test's on different types of solvents to remove the logo's off of clear FHZ caps. We have a winner! It's called "Castor Super Clean"
    It's a degreaser that you can get at most Auto parts stores. you simply place the caps in a bowl of the Super Clean and let soak For about 2-4 hours. and Booyaka! paint just dissolves and or slides off! It will not smoke or melt the plastic. Just be sure to rinse them off with cold water rub dry and let sit overnight to be sure any remaining solvent dissolves.

    Yeah but the logo's block John Higby's paint jobs. More Yodel, less logo!

    Brake fluid works wonders as well.

    I have found Brake fluid takes a lot of effort and doesn't quite get the job done. But I haven't tried every brand, so I'm not 100%

    Why don't you ask him what kind of paint he used? Then you will know what to use.
