I would just add a flat plate from sheet styrene over the molded numbers, or, even simpler, you could just leave the decal on its backing paper and glue it to the bumper.

Brett Barrow Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 If you want to scrape it out, I'd get on of these - the Micro Chisel from Mission Models(dotcom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasticfanatic Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Agreed on all counts here...if you think the letters add too much "stack" to the plate making it stick out too far remove them either as described above or with a sanding stick/file, but normally the numbers are so shallow it shouldn't detract if you just glue over-top of them. You can also super-glue a piece of sandpaper to a new pencil eraser and cut to the shape of the round rubber, you will have a nice and inexpensive tool the reach these difficults areas for sanding. Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
