Whats the best way to remove Duracoat?

[Drakkule]

Just what i said, how do you remove Duracoat? I have a pistol that will be machined, and i want to change the color, but i have never removed it before. Thanks for any help.

There is a process of using Dry Ice as a blasting agent and if there is a service in Indiana that would be the best way of doing it,

Maybe some of the machinest in the area will know of a place

Sand blasting/bead blasting.... save yourself years of lung cancer and DKA

Will a marine grade paint stripper remove it?

I know where regular paint stripper would not touch the factory
paint/baked powdercoat on a set of motorcycle rims the marine
stripper whisked it right off.

Sand blast in a cabinet works good

Throw it down the driveway.

I would go w/ the dry ice blast (but it can get expensive), or a glass bead blast. I have used the glass bead media before, it works just as well as grit only it doesn't remove the base metal...

Look at Dura Coat's website, www.lauercustomweaponry.com.

I think they suggest some sort of media blasting.

The website says to rough up the old coating, and apply a new coat, but the lettering will be to hard to read, so i would rather strip and recoat. Thanks for all the replies, any new ideas?

Citristrip from Walmart does a pretty decent job.

Used this method to help another Ingoer that had a bad Duracoat job on a Kimber. Worked fine without using any abrasive.

Buy it a fancy meal and then take it to a Broadway show?
