There is a member here that did remove tampos from a Pioneer yellow TA Camaro. I THINK it was proxieken but I'm not 100% certain. It was posted on the old forum.
I may have copied the how-to PM from back then. If I find it, I'll send it to you via PM.

Thanks for the help and ideas
However, if you are considering repainting, it may not be a bad idea to try this method first, it may well work, and if it does not, you will at least have a smooth even surface to repaint on top of

While Strip Magic is great for stripping paint, and I do use it, it basically attacks and softens the paint,.......so while great for completely stripping/repainting, it will not be ideal for attempting to remove the tampo decals, as it will attack /remove any paint/tampo it comes in contact with.
A rubbing compound will "cut" and remove the top level of paint/tampo, without affecting the deeper layers.
A quick look at the video, will demonstrate.................not want you want to use for trying to remove only the tampo !!

That's why I said test and use at your risk. I used Strip Magic for such a purpose when I removed the original black numbers from the white background prior to applying my own yellow background and numbers. It softens the paint and depending on how long you leave it on, you can remove the print in layers.
Your results may vary.
Apologies for not being able to share a better picture of what I did, this car is currently away in a proxy series, but here is a screen capture from the proxy forum.

I bought the same Pioneer Charger to make into a version of Dave Marcus' stock car. I covered part of the decals with Monokote - a thin plastic film with an adhesive backing typically used on model planes. Slot Car Fever decals were put on the Monokote. I can't remember if I coated them or not.
I left part of the primer paint showing so the finished car would look like a partially restored version of an original NASCAR.

I won't do numbers, more of a street and drag version but you have the look I'm going for thank you.
I've done black monocote on a car before with good resuts, so time for red.
