Krylon remover

Just painted a mack engine I overhauled with krylon then had to clean up a spot and used regular brake kleen (the flammable type) and after softening it up with it seemed to remove it quite well.Thanks--Dieseldog!

Then allow a couple of day's to dry then sand smooth & you should be good to go. Or better yet contact Murdoc and get him to re-finish it for ya with that hard as nail's Arma-Coat. Well worth the time & money in my eye's & I am a painter by trade.

Not to hijack (Sorry Barney), but how the heck do you get Arma-Coat off?

Figured as much. Damn you armoured paint!!!

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I just returned from the basement. The Goof Off works really well. I might have to wait until the weekend to do the paint removal outside in the garage... fumes might be intense down the basement.

I will try some :

* Paint thinner
* Aerosol Brake cleaner
* Acetone

Then I will get back to all of you.

Cheers,
Barney

Okay, it's all done!

I started out with my (I stole it from my wife's hobby shelf; yuk yuk yuk ) wife can of Circa 1850. Man does that stuff ever work well! Not much needed to raise the Krylon for immediate wiping with paper towel. The stuff does not really kill your nose sensitivities too.

Then like a fool, I tried some Paint Thinner... Epic FAIL ! What a dummy I was. I let everything evaporate and then put the Paint Thinner back on shelf.

I kept on working with the Circa1850 and I'm so impressed with it. I'm now down to the bare fiberglass of the USGI stock. Life is good!

Cheers all!
