So, if you were to grind off a serial, the gun wouldn't be traceable at a glance. They have this etching liquid stuff where they can put it on the serial plate and from the metal being worked when the serial was put on it, they can still make it readable even if it was scratches off. Also, they can find the paperwork from purchase, and compare it to the gun. If you purchased that gun, they can put 2 and 2 together.

If you were to sell it to someone, and they removed the serial plate, then I don't know how they can use identify it, but if they somehow figure it out, and you have no way of proving that you sold the gun or reported it stolen, you're in trouble. They look up records of sales for that particular model of gun, ask questions, or look for prints. They have ways to trace it if they look hard enough. They can even tell what type of gun/barrel was used if they can recover a fired bullet.

Doing ANYTHING above is HIGHLY illegal, and not recommend...

However, I don't have to worry about any of that, because there are no serialized parts on this gun, and it's never had a serial number. It's just a blank plate. I never removed or modified anything. It's was an unfinished frame that I finished myself. Therefore it didn't have to get a serial number because it wasn't considered a functional firearm. Completely legal to own, but not to sell or gift. If it was serialized, THEN it could be. However, unless it gets serialized it's legally stuck to you.

Technically it's still not COMPLETELY untraceable. Any time you purchase anything online, or use a credit/debit card, there are ways to trace things back to people. It's LESS traceable, but that's not really the main selling point of 80% guns. It's a benefit, but really they are a way to get around regulation. It can't be added to some sort of "firearms registry" in order to seize firearms or do a mandatory buyback, if they were to attempt something like that.
