Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Removig Krylon without screwing up the original paint?

The nice thing about Krylon Camo is that it does fuck all to stick to metal in most cases. Plastic might be a bit more difficult to remove (And do expect to tarnish any of the plastic you do work over, as the acetone in the polish remover will try to melt it.)

I would recommend just repainting whatever you're working on in the end. Getting a real firearm finish/paint makes them look so much nicer.

Edit: Actually, I just remembered I had used 'Simple Green' degreaser to remove paint from an old M4 5 pos stock and slim foregrip. It took a week or two of sitting in the fluid and scrubbing with a toothbrush to lift all the paint, but I was able to do so without damaging the plastic in any way.

Just time consuming...
