    I got GBB M4 kit landing shortly but unfortunatly it has , imo, some rather naff looking trades:

    GP-MB-GP707B-AG-1.jpg

    I want to remove the large logos but if possible leave safe/semi/auto intact.

    Would anyone have a workable way to do this? If it comes to it Ill strip the whole lower with Nitro and then Krylon it black again. Id rather just get rid of the cartoony trades themselves. Any ideas?

    I don't think it's possible. As soon as you apply (lets say white spirit in this example) to the piece, and start to rub/scrub the logo away, you'll take the back finish with it.

    Your best bet would be to remove the entire paint, and do it yourself (Will probably lose the Save, semi and Full) OR buy a new body with trades you do like. There's plenty of blank bodies available out there.

    Thought as much, Ill just strip and paint the whole lower then, lack of trades is fine I suppose (would be nice tho) so plain black it is.
    Its a quality receiver anyway, no point shelling out €150 for the sake of a frog at this point. One of these days Ill get a Prime!
