Remove silk-screened lettering?
Hi,
I just got a new work van, a '00 Chevy Astro. I bought it from a company that had their name silk-screened on the doors. There's not a lot of lettering, but I'd like to remove it w/o damaging the clearcoat.
Is there a safe way to do this, or should I take it to a body shop?
Thanks in advance.

I use the 3M™ Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disc, P/N 07501. It is a rubber disc, chucks up in a drill and it basically "erases" without damaging clearcoat or paint.

You should be able to get one from either an Auto Body PAint and Supply store, or possibally from a tool truck (eg snap on, matco or mac)

Would It Work for Masking Ridges
My wife scraped the bottom corner of her bumper on a rock wall. I sanded, filled, glazed, primed, painted and clear coated it. It came out really well but I have some ridging where the masking tape was. I have been using a "Clay Bar" to remove the excess but it is hand labour intensive and slow. I was wondering if the rubber disk you mention would work for this or if you know of a better way to remove the clear coat ridges? My feathering isn't my strong suit.
