Citristrip - Works well for removing rattlecan paint

That's the LMT you just painted last week right?

Was wondering the same thing here.

I left it all on except for the safety selector and FCG while painting and while stripping.

Yes it is. I threw the upper away because it was a piece of trash though. (Not joking)

It did a nice job on those $30 Colt uppers that some of us bought a while back with the hydro dip goop on them. Have to say, those receivers came up really nice.

Yup, I think I still have 3 or 4 of them sitting here. I might try making one of them nice, even though I bought them just to be ugly beater models.

The MRP CQB is still on my to do list but am getting it cerakoted woodland like I told you about.

It will probably be a pigging gun.

Spray paint is easy but gets kinda sticky and blah.

If it is a gun that is comfy then It gets koted. If I am on the run like dude in Shooter and have to clear my name and murk a rogue Chechen terrorist then yeah spray paint.

But me just pigging is most likely scenario

Citrastrip also makes plastic smell lovely (sarcasm) for weeks. Because of this, and because sunscreen makes paint a gooey mess, I’ve become a fan of colored plastics for grips and stocks.

Ok, on the subject of painting, I am going to be spraying a rifle in Aervoe soon. Do painted pistol grips and stocks ever get sticky/messy when heated up? It'll be in the Southwest and Texas, so the rifle will be in a lot of direct sunlight. Or am I better off just buying a pre-colored grip and stock? I don't care about matching or unmatching shades, I just don't want to deal with paint getting sticky and messy if I could avoid it.

Sorry for the slight derail, if anything I can start a separate thread.

Aervoe is GTG, especially once it is cured, which may take a few days.

Never used Aervoe. Heat doesn’t affect krylon (it will burn off, but not goop, if you do mag dumps or something else dumb). The chemicals in most sunscreens are what turns it into goo. Sunscreen is harder on Krylon than slip 2000 or weaponshield.
