Dennis, this is purely one of those "Wouldn't hurt to try" tyoe ideas, but what about maybe water or soap and water, especially if you just did them. At least the water won't hurt the paint!

If your talking the type of dry transfer where you rub the letter on the back-side of wax paper and then the letter is applied to the model, the same usual scotch tape trick you'd use with regular decals will work. I've had to remove entire wording from things before, and never had any issue of paint lifting, the "adhesive" used on dry-transfers aren't very good, and they tend to flake off with time if you don't clear them onto the body.

Dennis,what about rubbing it with some car wax type cleaner, alcohol or maybe fingernail polish remover.

you could also try just rubbing it of with your thumb.This seems to be a pure expermental type thing,try different stuff on an old cab

Something else you can try is to gently rub them with an eraser.
