I actually had intended to remove only the logos and leave the bike entirely black, but in about 20 seconds of hot, bubbly paint I realized Jasco is some REALLY tenacious stuff. So, I had to spend the next two hours liberally applying the stuff and taking all of the paint off. I then took a spray can of clear coat to it, and the rest is history.
