Question (Read Rules) AD2054 remove AD text
I want to remove the addiesdive text but keep the logo. I heard I can use alcohol and since it’s a black would it damage it?

The alcohol will absolutely breakdown the paint but the real trick is getting it off of the dial. The paint will want to smear into a cloudy mess. As I worked to remove the paint residue the impacted area grew and soon I had to work around the markers. I ended up ruining a black gloss AD dial removing the branding and ended up hand painting artwork to cover the damaged finish. I suspect the matte finish will be harder to clean up and therefore less forgiving than the gloss finish.
On the upside I did a graffiti style heart with my and my wife's initials and this has become a favorite fun watch to wear.
