Removing Paint

These days many Hot Wheels cars have often highly detailed markings on them.

This Jaguar has racing markings on the sides.

It also has very cool markings on the front.  But I don't want to use this as a race car.

So how do I remove these markings easily?

These markings are called tampos and are printed onto the side of the vehicle.  Just a swipe or two with a dry erase marker and they are gone.

The carrier chemical in the marker dissolves the tampo and the felt part of the marker wipes it away.

It takes longer to explain than it does to perform.  Now the car is clean of markings and can be used as a regular car.  If it plan to strip the paint off and do a re-paint in a new color, I always take the tampo off first because it is just one more layer to remove and taking it off first speeds the paint removal process.
