Thanks Drewpy, Robbie, and Yamahead My wife wasn't home last night (couldn't find a hair dryer), so I used a wood chisel and Acetone and removed the logos. There were no screws, pins etc. It was just glued on like Yamahead said. I used my DeWalt with an abrasive wheel to grind off the paint and primered it. and you cannot see where the logos were. I have some pitting due to the rust, and a small dent, so I do have to do more prep, but I'm sure it'll look good when I am through My Chrome fenders are pretty rusted also. I plan on cleaning them up and painting them also. Do I need to do anything special to prepare chrome for paint? AtDhVaAnNkCsE George

54.... am I the oldest so far? Am I the only one who remembers when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, Where I was when Kennedy was shot ,and was in college when Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon?

Thanks Drewpy and Robbie for your help. I will try using a hair dryer. I am a bit confused however. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my question. I want to removed two solid pieces of plastic that are the name "Yamaha", not a laminated thin plastic film. Is this still something to use a hair dryer on? Thanks George

I have a 1982 Yamaha XJ 750 Maxim. I am preparing the gas tank to be painted. I would like to remove the Yamaha logos from that tank, and then smooth out whatever I find under them. How do I do this? Can I just chisel off the logos? what will I find under them? will it be easy to sand, bondo, and smooth it out? AtDhVaAnNkCsE George Clay
