How to remove M&P emblem from lower receiver?

How can I remove the white "M&P15" emblem from my lower receiver, without ruining it.

I wanted a "plain" looking lower receiver, but got an extremely good deal on this stripped S&W lower..

I would try lacquer thinner.

Lacquier thinner or acetone

If you just want to remove the white fill, acetone or other solvent and a toothbrush should remove the wax or paint used to fill the lettering.

If you want to remove the entire logo, there are a couple of ways.

Fill the logo with bondo or jb weld and refinish with Duracoat
Sand it off and make a light weight reciever **THIS OPTION IS NOT RECOMMENDED**

Did the OP ever successfully remove the logo? I also do not like the bright white attention-grabbing logo on the side of the lower.

I would think that the suggested solutions (thinner/acetone) would not work, as this is a laser engraving. It's on the opposite side of the receiver as the roll marks.
