I'm thinking of stripping the paint on my carbon tubs, they have red and white logos, and I want them all black. How do i do that?

With FFWDs the logos are under a clear coat.
It would be really difficult to remove them.probably easier to sell them and buy new wheels with black logos.

You could try permanent marker or just spray them. You could if your brave try and sand the clear coat off. I would do this with a very fine grit.

There's plenty of threads here on WW with people stripping expensive framesets with razorblades. I believe it's the best way to strip paint and clear coat. It should be doable on wheels as well, even though the shapes might make it a challenge.
