hi nap,
for the seatpost, just wet-sanded logos with 200grit to remove it. then sprayed a little clear back to cover the bare carbon. then wet-sanded again with 1000grit all over to lose the gloss. no more matte clear after.

for the stem, this is basically what rasmusic did to his ritchey stem on his canyon posted here in the gallery (thanks for the tip rasmusic!).
used paint remover, applied twice. stem is anodized black under the clear coat and decals.

during

after

Right! Fess up if you've been hotlinking Farm Lim's pictures. It's killed his bandwidth!
FL, any chance you could sort this please? I need your pic's for the WW Bike of the Year...

Those photos are fantastic. I'd love to know what you shot them at/with + your lighting technique.
also, the bike is stunning.
