Is a heat gun the best way to remove Tom's Connecticut numbers?

Be prepared to do a bit of buffing in the area where the CT numbers
were applied. You're likely to see the "ghost" of the CT numbers, and
you'll essentially have to grind away enough of the aged gelcoat
surrounding the part that was protected by the CT numbers to restore
an even appearance.


It's aluminum. Baked enamel paint. The boat was always stored inside
and/or covered.

The paint didn't fade.
