hey guys, i picked up a Night Force scope, scope is in great condition but it has been painted with Krylon. i want to remove the paint but obviously do not want to damage scope and make a very expensive mistake.
i have used Citristrip on guns before and it works great, would carefully applying it and wiping it off the scope work? any other preferred methods? |
This is the stuff I use on optics.
It's not as fast as some paint removers (the kind that'll burn your skin), but it doesn't risk damage to rubber seals and such. Spray it on and let it soak. If it dries up, spray on some more. Then go at it with a stiff bristled toothbrush. If you get to much paint residue all over, rinse the optic off in the sink then re-spray it. It'll take a few hours, but it'll work. It took my VCOG from looking like this:
