Discussion Erase heatsink markings?

[ruby]

Hi
I have my eyes on a motherboard with seemingly uncoloured grey aluminium VRM and M.2 heatsinks. The top surfaces are mostly flat with some logos and slogans on, probably thin UV-printed. I would like to detach the heatsinks and erase these markings somehow. Does anyone have suggestions for how to do that or maybe some directions to resources? I have thought of sandpaper by hand but I don't know how much work that is.

Thanks

I guess trial and error may be the best way to find out. I've come across stickers, stick on metal with printing on it, etching, etc on heatsinks, so it really does depend on which direction the board maker went
