Does anybody have experience in removing the registration from fabric


More info needed:
What type of paint is on the ship?
Is the registration number the same paint or are the numbers stick on? Stick on can be remover with a heat gun and pealing.
If both are dope, you can soften the numbers with acetone/dope thinner, but this will probably loosen the underlying base paint? You might consider painting over the registration number using the base coat color. The new owner will then paint the new number over this area.
Hope this helps,
