I'm telling you guys...if you take your time and go over it very lightly, you can take off all of the paint from the nameplate and not ruin it. Here is mine...

i didn't get any scratches on mine when i used the cotton earbuds (q-tips to u americans). the only scratches on the surface were already there and i'm sure those can be lessened with chrome polish.
btw, here's another tip: when going over the smaller lettering on the name plaque, make sure there is less acetone in the cotton bud. what i did was to dab the bud into a wad of tissue paper to absorb most of the acetone, leaving a smaller amount. that way, u can rub a little harder but the letters won't be in danger of fading so easily...
Well, I couldn't avoid f'ing up the original logo apps on this thing, so I wiped it off completely. Besides, having an awesome replica piece like this is more enjoyable when I can pretend it's a product directly from Cyberdyne, and not a recreation of a movie prop with the trademarked movie logo on it. In short, I always wanted to replace the logo anyway. Using the above custom logo as a model, I used Photoshop and some Terminator fonts from the net, and I made this.
Trying to prevent 100% of the aribubbles is a pain in the ***, but I got it to an acceptable visual point for now.
Anybody got any good tips for bubble-free sticker applications? My other idea was to do this on silver foil sticker paper, but where the hell do I find that?
