Good question. Personally if acetone has no effect I would be leary of something that could actually remove it since it may distort and/or destroy it. I'm curious, how did a ZL1 knob make its way onto a V6

Wrap it in 3M carbon fiber vinyl.

It is screwed on. You must pry off the front button trim piece to get to them. They are just 2 normal philips head screws.

I think he means he physically wants to etch out the letters somehow. Not take off the cap,

or maybe I read it wrong.

Honestly, it could go either way... The way it's written, it literally means he wants to take the ZL1 "part" off which would be the cap. But, the more logical guess is that he just wants to remove the "ZL1" portion -from- the cap.

If it's the latter, I would contact the manufacturer to ask what the metallic portion is actually made of. If it's stainless steel, and the lettering is 'paint' (silkscreen), you may be able to basically sand it off with something like steel wool. You will have to go very lightly and slowly, though.
