Ibanez Logo - Repaint?


I have a black RG 20th so, as you guys know, the Ibanez Logo is white. Now I want to change the knobs and pickups (I'm getting DiMarzios) to blue. Now this would look crappy with the logo being white, so I was wondering if it's easy (or even worth it) to attempt to change its color. I like the contrast of blue and black and honestly having everything black on my RG gets dull quick.

Is this even possible?

Thanks!

EDIT: Something like this, but blue instead of green.

I think the issue will be removing the current decal before putting the new one on. You might have to refinish the headstock. I don't know if you'd just be able to put a new decal over the old one. I doubt it would look any good but would be worth a shot first.

The factory logo will come off with mineral spirits or lacquer thinner and a little rubbing. And just think, by permanently modding your collectible 20th, you'll make everyone else's worth that much more in 10 years.

EDIT:

Crap - now that I say that, I don't remember if the RG20th logo is silk-screened on the surface of the headstock or applied and then cleared over. I'd dig mine out, but I'm too lazy. If it's silk-screened, it comes off easy. If it's cleared over, you'll probably have to paint over it and apply a new logo. Or you could just sand it all the way off like the guy who butchered (he called it 'relic-ed') the RFR 20th on the Bay a couple of weeks ago.
