Styer, it sounds like you are speaking from some experience![]()
Haha, Possibly.....
I got the press and was soo eager to use it I read very thoroughly that you could use break cleaner to clean all the factory grease off as Hornady recommends(with their expensive One Shot can) and decided I would save a few bucks......or spend more by having to buy a replacement funnel, waste a can of brake cleaner, and buy the one shot lube/cleaner! the old funnel is usable b/c I quit spraying as soon as it start melting the plastic. it just is a hazy and looks like lava flow on the inside of the cylinder. FYI the brake cleaner did great on the press metal parts though, But also almost removed some paint
Acetone and elbow grease.

Goof off pro strength graffiti remover, Home Depot works like a charm, spray it on let it sit for 3-4 minutes wipes right off.
Breakcleaner, that contains acetone, has been fine on my stock polymer, if that's what they are, hand guards.
Might have sounded like a strange question since I work in a laboratory. I have access to plenty of stuff that will take the paint off but I didn't want to damage anything. I'm seriously thinking about doing the Cerakote thing to this one. Just something a bit different than black.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
This.
If possible, disassemble everything and soak in acetone for several hours/overnight. Any "normal" paint should come right off with ease. Epoxy coatings (Duracoat, etc.) will usually take a bit more elbow grease (stiff nylon brush helps), and a few soak sessions to get it all off. It will not hurt the underlying factory anodizing either. You can also soak plastic furniture (hand-guards, grips, etc.) in acetone without a problem as well.
