I'm in the planning stages of a genesis portable. And I'm going to put the top part of a Honeybee 6 button controller on the case. I'm not very keen on 'Honey Bee' logo though. Is there any way of removing the paint or is it like fused with the plastic? Tried rubbing it with alcohol but it didn't do squat.

Re: Removing logo from a controller.
It's probably silk-screened onto the plastic. The only way to remove it is sanding. Don't try to use any solvents like acetone, you'll dissolve the plastic.

Re: Removing logo from a controller.
I recall someone using sugar cubes to get logos off of cell phones. I'd be interesting if someone here tried it for true on something like this.

Not sure if it does anything beyond what sandpaper would do, but the results are quite nice.

Re: Removing logo from a controller.
Yep. I can vouch for that one. Rubbing alcohol dissolves the red ink on the NES cart door. Mine has a pink hue around it now from when I cleaned it a few years ago.

Re: Removing logo from a controller.
Really? I repaired a good friend's NES, and finished it off by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, and the logo is still there and red as ever.
