I don't know how this will work on an Athearn car, but I've used it on others. Use rubbing alcohol on a q-tip, scrub the lettering softly at first, to see if the paint is affected as well. If posible try on a hidden area first. If the paint is good, scrub harder on the lettering. Use a pencil erasure to scrub the lettering as well. I have managd to remove lettering with only a slight dulling of the paint finish. An application of gloss cote fixes that, you can then redecal, and apply final finish.
