painted mag?

[escortle]

i just bought a used automag, and this guy painted the mainbody and rail black, but it looks like crap. Does anyone know a safe for the gun way of removing this paint. I was going to take it all apart and use paint thinner.

Any suggestions?

Thanx

Paint thinner would work fine on the body since it is made out of steel and I don't think it would damage aluminum.

You need a paint stripper, not paint thinner. Zip-Strip is a good one. You won't hurt the metal. Thinner will not touch paint that has dried.

thanx for the imput guys, but I forgot my dad has a grinder wheel with a wire brush wheel, I just buffed the hell out of it. that worked great.
