You can try some Kleen-Strip Aircraft Paint Remover. I used some that's in a can on a 10/22 receiver, put it in the AZ sun for about 20 minutes and the factory paint came off like you wouldn't believe.

I'm not cool. I just do this stuff for fun.

The parts have been soaking in acetone all night. As of this morning, the paint looks the same as it did prior to any soaking. I will leave them soaking until this afternoon.

I don't think acetone is gonna budge anything. And probably anything that will remove the krylon will strip off everything else as well. Probably will end up with a bare rail system that you will need to refinish and detail the markings.

Lowes and Home Depot sell it as well.

In a related note, I see that Rustoleum has a new product out that is strippable. Kind of a rubbery coating that can be peeled off. Meant to help personalize your car, I guess for the weekend or something. Dress up your steel rims.... Don't know if it comes in the right colors, and I doubt it is very heat stable, at least for barrels. If it is on car rims, it must have some stability.

I'll see if the acetone has had any effect when I get home tonight. If the paint looks the same I'll try to get some actual paint stripper tomorrow.

I don't think you will save the white lettering no matter what.
You might try MEK - Methyl Ethyl Ketone

The acetone won't magically wash it away.
Now that it has soaked, hit it with a nylon brush, and rub it off with an acetone soaked old rag or t-shirt.
Acetone will do the trick.

It may be Gun Kote (or something similar like Moly resin). If so, acetone won't take it off. It'll have to be blasted off, which may harm the anodizing if not done very carefully. If the acetone isn't knocking the paint loose, then that'd be my guess. If that's the case getting it Gun Koted again may be the best way forward.
