I have used a little goo gone and 0000 steel wool. But that left some in the low markings. Then I just used a Birchwood Casey black paint pen on the black mags to cover the remaining marks.

I tried the same thing with the same results on some whiteout I had marked. I'm at a loss myself.

Are you sure her nail polish was not non-acetone? I use acetone from a gallon can and it usually works fine but if not for you just rattle can right over it. You can't hurt them.Tape off the part that goes in your magwell if you want. Send them to me with pre-paid shipping back and I will media blast them for you if wanted.

The problem is the plastic used allows the markings to penetrate the plastic. That’s how people are able to dye them different colors using Rit dye.

Use your own mags and put the old ones aside to turn back in next time

I cleaned some mags with paint marks recently.
A bit of carb cleaner on a paper towel, wiped it off very easily. |

I had a fellow officer recommend 70% rubbing alcohol.
I think I might try mineral spirits first. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I had a fellow officer recommend 70% rubbing alcohol. I think I might try mineral spirits first. If they are polymer, then I wouldn't do that. I don't think I'd do that even if there were aluminum. Sounds like too much effort as well. I think the "spray paint over them, then mark them as your own" is the best advice yet. Cheap, simple, effective and no worries of weakening the mags or wasting too much time on something that should be quick and easy. |

Try Goof Off in the yellow can.
I use it to remove Sharpie from plastic pistol frames I stipple. ETA: I moisten a Q tip with it. Works well for lightly textured surfaces. |

You know all those stickers you don’t know where to put? Cover up the paint. Let us know how that works out.

"Goof-Off', 'Oops', etc. The spray can, not the larger pump spray bottles. I don't know what those are for but I'm sure they're good at it. You need the real thing.

I used to clean the "red" clay stains and mud stains off my shiny 350X with soft scrub.
Don't know that it would work on PMags but it sure cleaned/shined up the blue seat, white fenders and white painted (metal) gas tank sides. People were always asking me how I kept it so clean/shiny Wet it down, squirt some soft scrub on a clean cloth and rub the spot vigorously. Might take more than a time or two. |

Lacquer Thinner and a toothbrush is what i have used in the past. Works great and does not hurt the polymer.

So I got some good ole Goof Off.
Squirted a little bit on a paper towel, and with a minor amount of rubbing, clean as a whistle. When I say "a little bit" I mean literally a drop or two. That's it. I think a tooth brush would have worked also. I hope this helps someone in the future. I always try to come back and follow up hoping someone can benefit from it. Thank you everyone for all the great suggestions. |

my question is why would an agency want to redistribute rifles and magazines? If I have my rifle set up for me, I would prefer to keep it that way. Of course we are allowed to run our own optic, sling, hand stop/forward grip, lights, magazines, etc...

We had a large number of folks decide they no longer wanted to put forth the effort to qualify and / or maintain their yearly qualification. We even have a lot of folks turn in their shotguns. I mean, that's only 10 rounds total to qualify!
Our agency only recently (6 years ago) adopted a patrol rifle policy. Only agency rifles allowed and only in the configuration the 70+ year old rifle instructor deems appropriate. |

HOLY CRAP!!!!!
First time yes!!! We had govt loaned M16A1s. Full Auto. Not sure if it is true but apparently "a few are still unaccounted for". Then it was okay for you to use privately owned. That got squashed QUICK. Now it is an M&P 15 with Magpul furniture and a Vortex Strike Eagle |

Try PVC purple primer on a rag to remove the old paint.

While I haven't tried this on a PMag... nor the clear window on the PMag
It will remove paint overspray from vehicle plastics. And very easily. WEAR your safety glasses... because any scrubbing could fling the product into your eyes. An extra moment taken to put on safety glasses ... is time well spent. If your hands are sensitive, or you have more then a few to do... wear rubber gloves ! Disassemble the mag placing the follower and spring away from the work area. I suggest you do the work outside... so you don't splatter the product on the kitchen / bathroom walls paint or other surfaces.... it will remove paint. Spray it on, allow it to sit for a 10sec... scrub with veggie brush ... Then THOROUGHLY rinse with water, while scrubbing again. Again, try it on a sample one first, prior to going bat poop crazy. http://www.tswwarehouse.com/tsw2r-multi-master.html |

I use a paint pen for everything. 91% rubbing alch. works pretty good. Sometimes it leaves a faint smudge within the crevices of the polymer.
