hi - does anyone know - or has changed - the white stripe on their Ergonova pro alloy stem and handlebars to a different colour?
It can't be that hard I guess, but what's the best - and most pro looking method? thanks ....

Option 1: Remove with acetone. You may want to mask off the rest of the bar if you want to keep the lettering.
Option 2: Use white stripe as primer. Lay down two strips of masking tape to mask off rest of bar and spray paint it.

I taped the stem exept from the white stripe and removed the white paint with acetone. Looks good.

Be careful with the acetone...Not only does it remove the white logos but it also dulls and wears the black base finish as well. Theres a greyish patch on my 3T stem that annoys the hell out of me because of this.
