| this may have been asked/answered before, but i cant find it. |
| I am currently removing Krylon from a lower receiver with acetone. It is getting it off but not as easily as I was led to believe. Maybe there are better products out there. I have gone through several toothbrushes and rags and there is still a ton of paint in the small cracks and hard to reach places. |

What I have found to be a better remover that involves less work, and doesn't leave a white chaulky look to your gun is Citristrip: Coat it, and 15 minutes later you're good to go. You can get it at any Walmart in the paint section.

| I literally just finished stripping the Krylon off my AR about 15 minutes ago. I tested several products before doing the whole thing; brake cleaner, gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits, paint stripping gel, and goof off. NOTHING worked faster than this stuff Klean-Strip Stripper Spray. Absolutely no elbow grease required. Spray it on and in a matter of 10-15 seconds you will start seeing the paint bubble. And no it wont harm the type III anodizing on the receivers. I pulled off all the plastic parts before applying this stuff, so I cant speak to it being corrosive to plastics. |

Yes that stuff is awesome, but it will fuck up anything that is not metal
