How 2 remove duracoat off 2011 mag

[Nick_shoots_fast]

An awesome friend gave me some 2011 mags that have been duracoated. I want to take it off but dunno what to use that won’t mess up the mag itself. Paint thinner? Gas?

I had been using the Easy Off Oven Cleaner in a yellow spray can for removing coatings like paint, anodizing etc. Just spray on it and leave it for a few minutes. Don’t buy the blue-colored spray can. Use it outdoors with gloves and eye protection since it’s very strong and irritating.

 

Buy it at Home Depot or Walmart.

In my experience a strong breeze or a particularly mean insult will remove Duracoat.

I have found that whenever i get  a stubborn spray and bake finish in my shop that i want gone.... i use aircraft stripper.. you can get it at just about any autoparts store and walmart. But be careful!!!, it is in an aerosol can and if you get it on your skin it will burn.

They do make it in non aerosol form as well, or at least they used to. I bought a gallon of it years ago to strip like 10 layers of paint off an old duck hunting boat.

 

But yes, it's very painful to get on your skin so wear goggles and rubber gloves.

Kleen Strip makes an aerosol epoxy stripper. Works great on Duracoat. Sandblasting works great also. I have blasted with baking soda on polymer grips also.
