Removing GunKote

[jcmios]

Does anybody know if GunKote can be removed chemically? If I need to bead blast it if I am going to need a more powerful blast cabinet or use a more abrasive compound and I hate to do that as I want to preserve the roll marks and frame markings nice and sharp.

Thanks
Jim

You probably could remove GunKote with a chemical of some sort, a strong acid should do it, but I would advise sandblasting as a better way of removing this finish.

I did Gunkote as a get-me-by until i finished the gun, and had the money to professionally finish it. I will let either bearcote, or Wilson combat remove the Gunkote before they refinish mine

Guess I'm lazy....

or is that working smart, can't remember

Sounds like working smart to me Brian, let they who know about the process do it.

haven't found a chemical that removes it

abrasives do work be gentle and the damage isn't too bad

if you are sending it out to be refinished. let them do it.
