You can lightly sand it...or get a razor blade and scratch at the paint....you're likely to remove some of the graphics underneath as well though.

If you're so inclined, a green scotchbrite pad and lots of elbow grease.

Goo Gone has worked for me on some cheap spraypaint, so you could give that a try. Paint thinner on a rag also has worked without removing the graphics underneath, but you have to be careful.

Have you tried using acetone/ paint thinners?

or just tape the area with the paint and give it a couple of days and remove it

it should take off some then scrape off the rest

but imo just leave it as the bottom of the shaft is black anyways!

Turpentine

Try using some Paint Thinner (spray paints are mostly Alkyd aka oil base.) Acetone is more for breaking down plastics (latex based paints.)

Just pour some thinner or a rag and away you go. Spray paint is pretty hard to get off though from personal experiences.

I second Turpentine/paint remover. Doesn't remove graphics and leaves your stick nice and shiny!

i used orange goop to remove the price stickers and paint thinner to get the paint off

goof off works well for removing both stickers and spray paint

there is this stuff called naval jelly, you buyit in the paint section at hd or lowes 4 bucks maybe, it is this gel that you apply an let it sit then take a putty knife an it comes right off slick as shit

Just use some nail polish remover, works great.

wish i would seen this! last time i did it, i just used a green scotch brite pad. it worked, but took a while and my arm was dead afterwards. but next time ill probaly try some of these remedies! thanks fellas

What was the turnout here? I'd think that things like Naval Jelly would also soften or weaken the composite underneath but I don't know if there is any chemical conflict there or not?

I bought a sprayed t100 shaft, used paint thinner and alot of scrubbing and now it looks brand new
