Quoted:
Like a magpul forend? How much is the Magpul part? Try it and report back to us.”! I would think citric acid would not destroy polymer as long as you don’t leave it on too long? |

According to the op in this thread, it turned his black mag a grey color.
https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Removing_Krylon_From_Magpul_Plastic____/19-367697/ People report using brake cleaner and hoppes is a good choice if your stripping off paint from a magpul part. I would test it on a magpul mag floor plate, trigger guard, or something else cheap as a test bed. |

Well I actually just sprayed a gun with a magpul fore end. I was just asking in anticipation of having to strip it later on down the road. I know at some point I will get bored and want to repaint it.

When done, rubbing alcohol can strip the krylon camo paint. Actually, as the camo flakes off it adds to the camo pattern. |

I just sprayed the whole thing down with brake cleaner. I've done a couple of guns that way, so far so good. This is a cheap PSA gun that will be a beater/trunk gun so I'm no super concerned with its longevity. Thats how I know its going to have to be redone at some point. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Citri-Strip removed 87 layers of camo paint from my rifle, Aimpoint, and a few mags, all without issue. I ended up dyeing the FDE Magpul parts black, using Rit dye.
I tried brake cleaner, but I think that the thickness of the paint was more than it could handle. Citri-Strip was much easier to use; just spray it on and set it out in the sun. After it bubbles up, wash it off in water and loosen it with a soft brush. |
