I bought a '94 RS America and the previous owner had Pat Long sign the rear fender with a sharpie and then the owner lacquered it with an aerosol can--now its yellowing.

I want to remove the lacquer and the sharpie signature. Should I wet sand it and then polish?

That's why if the body shop does it, they can also repaint the whole fender to match or do a spot blend.
