Hi Folks,

I have a new Kato EJ&E SD38 which I want to weather. I don't want to repaint it, but I want to put the stripes on the nose and rear - this means removing the J-ball from the nose. Any advice on how best to do this? I've read about using alcohol but I don't want to ruin the paint underneath it.

Any advice is appreciated!

If it's factory without any clear coat; try a pencil eraser using it very carefully.
