Default Paint Pen Removal - Intake Manifold
So I got my engine form a junkyard and on the top of the intake in bright yellow paint pent they wrote "00 T/A LS1 64k miles" !!! and it looks terrible. I am wondering if any of you had any recommendations on how to remove it without damaging the plastic?

If you are curious at the top right of this pic you can see a part of it.

shouldn't be a problem at all. all you need is some goof off. put some of this on a cottonball and it should rub right off. i get it at home depot in the paint department- by the spray paint cans

Not sure but you might try rubbing alcohol. I know it works on sharpies.
