[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bowflage Removal Question ?

Posted: 1/10/2002 10:32:40 PM EDT

Went to Dick's Sporting Goods today. They did have Bowflage kits, but 4 can kits only. No can of "remover" with these.

The box said the Bowflage can be removed with any "paint thinner".

The guy in the sporting goods section told me that "oh that bowflage is pretty well permanent when you spray it on". Huh ?

Seems to me that most paint thinners will affect plastic parts like RAS panels or buttstocks.

Anyone have a good safe way to remove Bowflage ?

I used their remover to take it off of a couple guns and it worked great w/o damaging the finish. It is a little pesky in the checkering, but not too bad. It is far easier to remove than the camo tape crap that never comes off.

Thanks for the testimony BK. I think I might buy this via Brownells since they have 5-can kits which I assume include the Bowflage remover rather than trying turpentine or any other plain ol' paint thinner.

I would say that's a good idea, even if the other stuff removes it, it may also screw up the finish of the firearm. Brownell's is good about answering questions too--ask them! Good luck! [:)]
