Removing Stenciling from Carbon Express Heritage Shafts?

Decided to give some Carbon Express Heritage shafts a try. Wondering what takes off the white stenciling from the shafts.
So far I have tried Acetone, Denatured Alchohol, Isopropyl Alchohol, Mineral Spirits, Laquer Thinner, and Naphtha and nothing seems to work.

This sounds a bit extreme and I have only done it to one arrow but brake cleaner did it for me and it looked like it didn't have any ill effects on the arrow. But then again I only did it to one just in case it did do something to the strength of it but it didn't remove any of the finish and I have shot it a lot. It's the only thing I have found that will touch the stenciling. Use at your on risk.

It used to wipe right off with acetone,but I think the manufacturer got wind of their logo being removed,and changed the paint or dye they use.

I use Zip Strip paint remover. Wipe on and wipe off....works without a bunch of elbow grease.

Interesting. I've had a bunch of these for several years now, an took the logo off easily with Acetone. If that doesn't work now, they may have changed the paint(but I've never found a normal paint that acetone won't cut.)
But, I wonder why they would care enough to do that....at the time we would actually be removing the paint they'd have long since put our money in the bank. It doesn't seem like that logo on a guy's arrows is going to sell a bunch of shafts to his buddies. If I were their CEO, I'd be asking my people why they decided to spend time on such a non-problem!

Steel wool or brass wool and lighter fluid.

I have removed lettering from several different shafts with acetone without any problem.. Sometimes ya have to "rub" a bit and keep the paper towel moist.
