I've searched and have been unable to find a first hand report of people removing the painted on graphics from the latest Hed Belgium rims. Has anyone done this successfully?

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I was just worried that anything that would take the graphics off might harm the rest of the finish.

try acetone . HED's are anodized,, so no problems. Possibly it's water transfer , not paint. Goof off is a Xylen mix ( with nicer scent ;) )
