My buddy wanted to stealth out his Ritchey C220 stem, but the logo was under a clear. Acetone ended up taking off the logo after a long time of scrubbing, but also took off the anodizing. He then stripped it and had it re-anodized, but it didn't come out right. I painted it with a matte finish black and it turned out perfect but it was a different shade of black and he wasn't happy.

He bought a new Ritchey C220 and used this "Jasco" premium pant and epoxy remover. It came out to perfection! Removed the clear and the logos but didn't effect the anodizing at all. From start to finish, took 20 min.

Here are some photos of the process...
