painted or vinyl graphics?
vinyl= a little heat and peeling.
if you have painted, then you have to painstakenly use some sort of paint remover to slowly remove the paint, layer by layer them buff out the body paint when your done. |

| If your not too concerned, try wet sanding the paint and leaf off. Usually gold and silver leaf is applied relatively thin so 800 grit on a rubber block might take care of it. Use a small bucket of water with a few drops of dish soap in it, the dish soap acts as a lubricant and will make the sanding a little easier. |
