Need help with a small repair

[csm47362]

I just got a gun that someone has painted? the front site. How can I remove it with out hurting the finish?

Depends on the type of paint. Did you try using your fingernail and scraping it off?

A mild stripper might be useful.
Try mineral spirits or Brake parts cleaner on a rag.
If not citri-strip.

duct tape. Put a strip of duct tape on it, use a fingernail to really get it on good and leave it for a day or two. When you take off the tape most of the paint should come off.

try fingernail polish remover---shouldn't hurt the blue bit if it does you can touch up with cold blue.

Acetone will remove the paint and not damage the blueing on the gun. It also works on the silver and gold paint some people put on the engraving of guns in the 70's and 80's.
