So, I'm looking at some red anodized MTB style bars, and it seems like all of the bars our there have pretty flashy paint on them - like those in the image below.

Any suggestions on removing those logos without damaging the anodized coating?
 
If it is just silk screened paint thinner should be fine.
Another way of saying it, anodized alum. should be nearly impervious to paint remover.
 
+1... removing the paint with thinner should do it. But sandpaper or other mechanical abrasives would ruin your finish.
