Clean the tanks with something that will remove all the grease grime etc., then use some 3m blue edge lock tape to tape off the letters. I then used a sharp hobby knife and carefully traced the letters to cut the tape off leaving the letters covered. Took some time, but retained the factory polish on the letters.

Too much work....
Trust me, get a sanding block and just sand away the paint. Looks perfect, even shines up the letters

i tried sanding my letters, the only problem I ran into was the dust getting in between the letters and it was impossible to clean out of there without marking up the paint.... so I just resprayed the whole thing again
