I bought a used glock that the guy spray painted the frame.
What's the best way to get the spray paint of the frame?

Acetone would be safer wouldn't it? There was a thread like this a few weeks ago and I mentioned how brake cleaner can melt some plastics. I've never done it on a glock or anything though. They may not react to BC like some plastics. Poly prob has more experience on that part than me
So the brake cleaner basically blasts the paint right off.
It doesn't need to soak.
Blast it, and if you're worried about your frame, run it under water after you use the brake cleaner.
FWIW, on metal parts I'll strip paint, duracoat, alumahyde, etc. with airplane stripper.
Works great, no scrubbing.
Ya, was more concerned of the harshness of paint remover.

It will not affect the anodizing.
Best of all, the stripper is water soluble.
The brake cleaner should be fine for the plastic. I think it can be harmful to rubber though. I started a paint job on my HS stock yesterday and used some wal mart brake cleaner as a degreaser. Didn't have a problem with it at all
