| Does anyone know the best way to remove camo spray paint from a bolt rifle? It has been spray with a KRYLON to dull it down. Now it has to be removed w/o damaging the finish. Any suggestions? |

carb cleaner or hell break cleaner with no chlorine. I think they are both as freaking harsh so whatever's cheaper. also you need a nylon brush, you can buy Carb cleaner in a 1 gallon can at parts store so you could put it in a tub and put the part in it to really get it good |

You shouldn't have a problem with either. It may soften the stock, but you can check that by spraying a small area or dabbing it on. Keep it wet for 5 minutes and see what it does. I seriously doubt you will have a problem, but not all stocks are created equal.... |

The factory PSS stock has a coating similar to KG Guncoat (I may be wrong but I think I remember hearing HS Precision uses KG on some of its stocks). The 700 I rebuilt last winter had a very thick camo paint job on it. I used Acetone and a green scotch brite pad to remove the Krylon and it didnt hurt the stock. It did remove some of the matte black finish on the stock but since I was going to refinish it anyway I wasnt too concerned. Since you are concerned with the under lying finish you might also try fingernail polish remover & a soft cotton cloth. Joe |
