I just got a San Marco Rolls seat from Nashbar and didn't realize it had a cheesy gold colored logo and gold seat rails on it. Is there any way to remove the gold from it, sort of scaping it off.

Looks like a nice seat and can't wait to check it out but that gold is hideous. Looks like one of those Cadillacs from the '80's with a fake canvas top and tacky gold plastic all over it.
