What did you use?

I use Clean Strip or something similar. Parts will have a faded "dry" look when done. Rub in some CLP and you'll get the original color back.

When I sold my Mk12 upper (
 ), I took my LMT lower that was spray painted and disassembled it to a stripped receiver.
I dunked everything into a small pan of acetone just enough to cover everything. I let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. After that, I took a regular AP brush (brush for cleaning guns and such) and brushed off the paint. It came off very easy and had it back to looking new within 10 minutes. |

I've used Citristrip before, it works ok just takes a while. Aircraft stripper works pretty well but is nasty stuff. I've used a commercial pressure washer before. Don't use that though i fucked up an upper. Paint thinner, Just about every kind of solvent possible. Just be sure to use a stiff brush to help it along but wear eye pro.

Acetone will remove it. All metal will strip off clean, oil it and good as new. Use a green scrub pad and a firm toothbrush.
Plastic will have some paint too deep in the pores for total removal, will need repaint. |

TMW. When the fashion changes.
Just paint over last seasons. As it wears last years will add to the cammo. effect. Then next season. Do the same for the next Fad. Use it all as primer, stripping paint off a firearm is a useless expense |
