not sure where to post this

i bought a pair of used fins with the dive shop's number painted in white.

what's the best way to take that paint off without damaging the fins?

thanks in advance.

A fiber bristle type sanding wheel and a hand drill.
. . . just one suggestion.

Sometimes rubbing alcohol and scrubbing with something soft will get it off. Sometimes nail polish remover (acetone).

ditto on the above - turpentine will do it too.

You can try Mr. Cleans Magic eraser - works like a charm on slates!!!

...paint over it in black...or yellow....or paint them all white.

 

[H2Andy]

ok, the deed is done (after borrowing nail-polish remover from my wife)

the fins look great

...paint over it in black...or yellow....or paint them all white.

orange flames... oh the humanity!

But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.

I say just take a saw/knife to them and cut off the offending parts with the numbers on!
