--stripping paint tutorial--

[panzergrenadier]

So you can't use that stuff on plastic though?
Cuz I use Testors ELO paint remover and it won't ruin plastic or metal...
Here's a pic of my old AEG before I removed the paint. Stock TM so plastic reciever and whatnot

Got it back to black to sell it no prob with ELO...
Unfortunately I didn't keep the pic of it after I removed the paint.

Super Clean won't eat plastic, but the stuff he's using will. And you can find Super Clean at Wal-Mart in the Automotive section (if they have one) it's in a nice Dark Purple jug and it has "Super Clean" written boldly on it.

Ok

But SuperClean remove ALL the paint, include the factory painting?

Anyway thank you, I go buy some tomorrow

But the question about the PVC is for his product.

Alright, do not use the gloves we used, since we had nohing else we used the surgical glove which the chemical tended to eat through SO, go buy normal heavy duty rubber gloves for this type shit from hardware stores.

the SupaClean was bought in Walmart in the paint section....there a few choices as long as it says Paint removal or anything with that combination u should be good!

dilute the chemicals in water and with tap running put it into sink...thats what we did and so far no holes in the bathroom plumbing ! lol

cheers

aniway great easy method !!!

[L.S.J.S]

what about a power washer? lightly clamp it to something and blast the shit off. thats how i use to clear clear paint out of cracks from parts @ work after being treated with paint stripper........of course!

[BORDENSNIPER]

well the stuff we used ate away on a plastic contatiner, but i guess u can use ot on certain gun body plastics.

whoever used stripping paint material on Platic, please post something like: U can also use this on plastic, it is safe. etc..and state the brand name.

lets make this thread as helpfull to ppl as possible.

the stuff int the tutorial works magic on metal.

Hi,

Today I buy some SuperClean at Walmart. I try to remove the paint but no result.
I try to let my barrel inside the liquid 10 minute each side. After I try to remove paint, no result
Same thing for 30min
Same thing for 1 hour...

I have some Krylon Flat Black paint over my factory paint. The liquid remove some Krylon but no factory paint....


I will try with some Lacquer Thinner, we will see what is the best. After I will try with the "Rust removal/paint stripping chemical liquid"

I give you more detail in max 1 week

PS: Don't use the bottom of a metal cookie case, the bottom is made of 2 piece of metal and they are not seal.... :P

Hi,

I have do my homework and here are my result. I follow your tutoriel but I change the chemical product.

First, I use SuperClean. Not very good, remove some Krylon paint and a little bit of factory paint but you need to work alot. Some picture of the result:


Second, I use Lacquer Thinner. Very good! It remove Krylon paint very easily (I drop some Thinner on the toothbrush and brush the barrel, the paint was remove).
For factory paint I was only easy :P I let the barrel in the Lacquer Thinner 5-6 minutes each sides. After that I follow the tutorial.
One thing, the product don't remove orange paint, I need to sandpaper it

Some picture of my barrel after the Lacquer Thinner and the sandpaper (for remove some little paint spot and have a better finish):

I'm pretty happy, I will know what to do next time

PS: Use the Lacquer Thinner outside or in your garage cause it's smell very very bad.

Try Easy Off oven cleaner if you want to totally strip the paint. Safe on plastic.

[ledor473]

Ok, next time I will try it

[BORDENSNIPER]
