Pressure washer, just not too strong

Tried that already....

Cover it with black paint

Thought about it but would rather not...

I asked a guy working at the quickie-mart. He said he always uses an IED.
(I have nothing useful to add)

Have you tried paint thinner? I assume it wouldn't be strong enough. Next option would be paint stripper from Lowe's, or some type of "vandalism mark remover" stuff. Does it have paint on both sides? You could just mount it the other way (may have to do two if they are directional).

flapwheel or burnouts.

Install, air down, wheel hard.

Brake fluid will bubble the paint right off. Not sure of the effects on the rubber..

seeing as how brake lines are rubber... should be ok...
I agree w/ air down and burnout.

CARC paint is pretty tough stuff, but it'll wear off eventually.

Stick it in a deep, hard red clay rut and grind it off.

Do you have a picture?

I can tell ya from restoring an M416 trailer that CARC is the devil! I literally had to grind, not sand, grind the paint off of it!

You're gonna put them on that Toyota?

Put it on the right side of the truck so the paint is on the inside. Bam. Done.

I like your thinking. Unfortunately nobody listens to me either
