All you appeared to have done is taken off the paint :P Gonna need to sand away the lettering then work down through the grades till its smooth, Maybe use a polishing mop then or get busy with the autosol (or both) ;)

I'd speak to tErr0 for some proper polishing advice, Personally i cant be arsed with watermarks hence i paint everything :pimp:

yeah lol like i said was a quick attemp just took the paint off smoothed it up a little then put abit of autosol on but will rub right down till the letters are gone then work from their :D
