Removeing Paint
« on: August 19, 2008, 05:25:34 AM »

I put a couple coats of primer and a couple coats of hammered finish paint on my barrel.

What is the best way to remove it?
I did not sand the barrel first and would rather keep it that way.
Can I save the blueing?

Any strong solvent like MEK, Lacquer Thinner, or Acetone will probably remove it without harming the bluing.

Thanks, I figured I would try thinner.
I just didn't know if it would hurt anything else.

That paint turned out a little bright for a Coyote gun.

After 3+ hours,2 different thinners, steel wool, and some relly fine sandpaper
I went to the hardeware store and bought some spray paint remover.
Worked perfectly. 10 minutes and the paint was gone.
