The KMR is the magnesium rail, right?
soaking in aircraft grade simple green acetone and a rag goof off graffiti remover non chlorinated brake cleaner lucas gun oil and a couple others will soften/dissolve paints IMO hose the sucker with brake cleaner then finish up with a brass brush dunked in acetone. |

I've heard that if you use anything like acetone or other chemicals the original finish will come off the KMR.

Apply a heavy dose of Mlok, it will work better than simple green.

I don't know about the rail being Mg, but on my LaRue rail, I used the gel aircraft paint stripper from Auto Zone.
It is very foul smelling, but I painted it on with a brush, and it stripped the paint completely off, leaving the existing coating intact. |

You should probably email BCM regarding this matter.
The rail is not anodized because it is a Magnesium alloy and I've seen many strippers take off the finish. |

I did it with the first gen KMR using acetone and there were no problems.
