Some idiot painted my gun.. before I bought it..

[snew]

I think it looked better than before. Just use your gun and it wll wear to a beautiful used look.

BTW- brake cleaner will take that sissy paint right off, though I like painted guns.

[boxer13]

Yeah I don't like either but hey my opinion is worthless so if you enjoy it who gives a **** about what I have to say?

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

Now it's riced out.

 

[pokerace]

I like it.

I krylon my guns though, so Im a bad person to ask.

If you want it fixed up nice, get a hold of Jake here:
Twisted Firearms LLC

There are a few forum supporters that do it right as their main business.

We mainly do it for our own builds but have been known to dabble. Here are a few recent dabblings.

Looks like he didn't seal it when he painted it with spray can paint. I have painted two of my rifles with krylon and this nice sealer that I found and have had no problem...But eventually I will paint my other rifles with Cerakote...Big price difference in the two...

Use non-chlorinated brake cleaner and it will come right off.

i am not one for aesthetics,really am a function first,looks are secondary,but i really like what you did with these!!

 

[gunnin88]

wow thats awful I would use paint thinner and take the rest off. I too paint guns at home for fun so nothing scares me, but paint thinner WILL NOT HURT that original coating, but will wiped that other crap right off. I would paint the upper slide a solid color for 45 bucks if ya wanted.

 

[1stIDFMP]

I don't like it. But it's yours, and if you like it - that's all that counts. You should show another pic, once you get it re-done!

 

[A.I.P.]

Run it through your dishwasher, the paint will lift right off

WTF DONT do this who the hell says something like? BOOOO

You can soak it in brake fluid and it will remove the paint. Scrub it with a tooth brush to remove the paint from cracks and pockets then wash off with water. I used this method when stripping and repainting plastic and metal models.

 

[mkwerx]

Looks better now than it did - but that's not saying a lot. The poop-green color just doesn't look good with the black. If you like the "highlighted" gun look - I'd opt for a more complimentary color - silver, gray, red...anything other than poop green!

And what's the deal with painting just the slide? If you're gonna camo a gun - why not go whole hog and do the frame too? I've done that to *one* of my pistols, to make it match a rifle I had at the time. I found that when I wanted to remove the paint - non-chlorine brake cleaner + a soak on automatic transmission fluid did the trick. ATF is a great gun cleaner - you just need to have something to remove the ATF when you're done.

 

[browntown]

So did you get it cerakoted or continue to remove the old paint?

you mean "beer holder" I think?!!

We used to use aresol brake cleaner to strip the bow-flauge that we painted our rifles with in the Army. It worked great.

I would recommend getting a Dura-coat finishing kit though to anyone who wants to paint their firearms - works WAY better than krylon and cost under $30 for the do-it-yourself kits.
