Mossberg 535 camo removal?? How do you do it?

[quinnbrian]

Looking at an old Mossberg 535 with the factory...plastic like camo on it. It badly worn (the camo finish) and would like to remove it. Anyone have a "how to" on how to do it. I was thing ...maybe , strip it and put barrel and reciver etc..in a pail of actone. I know the stock can't go that way (there plastic). So any advise?
Cheers

The factory finish on mine is incredibly durable, barely any wear after years of use. Either you carried A LOT, or made on a friday afternoon

It not that it's ripped off, just faded out lot , around the wrist area and pump, looks "white-ish" washed out ... Dirty.... It's one thats I'm looking at , that for sale, so was wanting to know if it fixable before buying .

To completely remove it would be difficult, I would think. You could hydra dip it, or Krylon spray job. Theres lots around, pass on it unless its super cheap.

Great idea,on the dipping ,....cheap well ..$200.00 is the asking price.

x2 on recoat it vs removing what's on it. Durable stuff.

$200 is a pretty sharp deal, especially with multiple barrels. I have nice shotguns, but its what gets used mostly, especially in inclement weather. Love that shotgun.

Yes it would be, but only has the one barrel, with removable chokes.

Toss it any buy another one. Mossberg stuff is built to be disposable.
