My Ultegra lettering has partly rubbed off on my rear Derailleur.Is this stuff available to buy,or is a once only manufacturing process.

If it's an aesthetic thing you could use solvent to get the rest of the lettering off...

Check the SS/FG forum. Those folks probably have millions of lettering molecules they could give you. All you got to do is rearrange them back the way they were.

I'd say just polish them off......Your components will look much cleaner.

I wish the lettering on my Ouzo fork wasn't under the clearcoat
