I don't have any fancy pistolas for when I have cook outs. I happened to have this piece which was already spray painted when I got it.
So why not make a bad thing worse right?
(In all honesty this was in preparation for stripping the previous finish. The weapon is now completely stripped and is soaking in a sodium hydroxide mixture to completely dissolve all oil that may have permeated the surface of the metal)
Here's a trick I use that y'all may find helpful in certain circumstances.
When stripping old spray paint from metal, try spraying on a fresh coat of whatever spray paint you have handy, let it get tacky, then mist with acetone and wipe both layers off with a rag. I only use this technique when trying to remove a rattle can finish that is long since cured. It does not work for baked on finishes.
