Any wise obralander advice for me?



I just bought a "take-off" carbon LOOK road fork. This fork was originally

made for Litespeed and therefore has nice bright yellow "LITESPEED" stickers

running down the front of each fork leg.



The bike I want to put this on is not LITESPEED! and as such I would like to

just remove the LITESPEED stickers...but they are under the clear coat. I

have basic painting skills, but wondered if anyone had any simple advice on

how to do this at home and product recommendations.



I will take it to a frame painter if that is the best solution. But no

sense in doing that if there is a simple cheap way to do it myself without

making it "look" like I did it at home....



Thanks for any advice.



-Tim
