Best way to remove stupid color-fill

[FredAlert]

I have had a scourge of color-fill in my trades lately. I don't mind it on AR receivers and stuff but for the most part when I see HKs and Glocks munged up with the slide lettering all color filled it makes me close to physically ill.

I got a deal on a couple of such guns that was just too good to pass up and they are in perfect condition saving the silly red/white color filling.

Is there an easy way to get rid of this stuff saving having someone hit it with a bead blaster?

Acetone? Fingernail polish remover on a paper towel and left to soak?

Yep, Break Free works great.. Also nail polish remover if that happens to be handy in your house. Just avoid getting it on plastics.

I've removed it with a rag and some solvent. comes off pretty easy. people like the Hoppes solvent, I just use some carb cleaner on a rag, then re-oil when your done. only time I've been careful about it was on coated stuff like parkerizing or some of these duracoat/gunkote type. my AR's factory finish was never hurt by the carb cleaner, neither was my glock's. Just looks like poo until you re-oil.
