Just wondering what the easiest way of removing the letters on the riser block replicas is. Filling in the letters with bondo/body filler? Or is it possible to sand them all the way down? Anybody know how to go about this?

Mesh sand no matter the bondo type.
You should sand with lower then higher grit to prep it for primer and paint. 80 at the start to shape up everything, then 400 and primer. Depending on the cure time for the primer you can start with water sanding afterwards. 800, 1200, 1600 for water sanding. Then just paint and clear coat. -------------------- |
