I just got a Browning .270 A-Bolt in a trade and the guy had put a "custom" paint job on it. I'd like to remove it. It's got a synthetic stock. Is there anyway to remove the paint without damaging the stock, or am I better off to leave it alone or take it and have it dipped, and maybe cerakote the barrel and action? He spray painted it camo. It doesn't look horrible,but I'd like for it to look a lil better than it does. TIA

It can be removed, the AR guys paint guns all the time and remove it. I can't remember what is used to remove it, but it can be done...

Why not just send it off and have it dipped, let the pro's do it for ya. It would cost you about 200 or so.

I would suggest acetone or paint thinner.
