Hey Team..
It's just me with another one of my how - to threads
This time around I'm doing the opposite of what I typically do, that is to say I'm going to show you how to remove paint off your firearm / scope, after all there are plenty of threads on how to paint a scope (remember google is your friend) but there aren’t to many on how to remove the paint from a scope so here goes nothing / how I do it at least.
Remember / for what it worth.. This is why I love paint!.. you can do anything you want and still remove it later and have your factory look back..
What my scope has been through already..
Here is the first two coats of Duracoat
Here’s the next two coats of Duracoat
Now lets add on some auto paint and three coats of clear
So now we have the following: 1 base coat (bulldog) 1 primer coat and 4 coats of Duracoat and three coats of Duracoat mat clear.. Is this problem??. not anymore it not..
For Duracoat there a few ways to remove it without killing yourself in the process, but please note.. most of the products will burn the hell out of you and the vapors are not good!.. please wear protection..
Jasco Paint and Epoxy remover
CLP's Powder Blast Gun Cleaner and Gun Scrubber
Acetone
MEK
And pretty much anything from the (zip strip line)
Gel is your friend and look for something that has a high Methylene Chloride content.. 80% or better..
Also just about any brake fluid will also remove it but it makes a mess.. Ask me how I know this.. Hahahaa..
