Stormhall Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I am genuinely so happy with the sensible and legal advice this young man has been given. Well done this forum. Why is my sarcasm detector going off the charts here?

Popular Post Longshot Posted April 10, 2014 Popular Post Posted April 10, 2014 Seriously, the one time I'm not actually being sarcastic (and this time as well). Threads like this normally turn into: "you can't paint your gun until you're 18 and have a UKARA licence" and other nonsense. Then I come on and start preaching and everyone gets pissed off at me. I'm just really impressed at the level of knowledge and common sense that has been offered on this sort of thread for once (though I've still come on and got people pissed of with me...).

Stormhall Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Yes it's legal if you have a defence. And even if you don't nobody is gonna know or harass you about it. padraigthesniper 1
TacMaster Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Actually, does this magical "power spray" work on metals? You could get some Nitro Mors and use it on the painted receiver of your MP5, it gives it a badass bare metal look as it strips right down through the original black... I had my MP5 that way for a while before repainting and it turned so many heads, you just have to make sure every fleck of paint is gone DX115FALCON 1

Supporters Arden Posted April 10, 2014 Supporters Posted April 10, 2014 A painting supplies shop, or a DIY store
CaptainSwoop Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Nitromors in the decorating isle. Most foaming oven sprays will work to strip paint. test on a small patch first, some plastics can be effected by it. Sodium Hydroxide also known as Lye is the active ingredient. it is a strong alkali keep it off skin

I had my MP5 that way for a while before repainting and it turned so many heads, you just have to make sure every fleck of paint is gone Have you had any trouble with the repaint? Did you use anything special as a base coat? Actually give us the full method and results if you don't mind. I ask because Nitro Mors wrecks car paint jobs, because it takes the 'whojimaflibbet' base coat stuff off as well as the paint. Nitromors in the decorating isle.

Sodium Hydroxide also known as Lye is the active ingredient. it is a strong alkali keep it off skin We had a discussion about this a while ago and iirc the active ingredients of FairyPS are not as alkali as NaOh. I expect it will say use rubber gloves on the bottle, but NaOh is a different kettle of chemical burns. One of these days I'm going to strip my SVD (she is a repainted 2 tone - before she came to me / not my fault / accept no responsibility) and I plan to see how well soaking the plastic hand guards in a strong sodium hydroxide solution works, because it ought to be cheaper, but also because I don't care if they melt - i'll just get a wood kit.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted April 11, 2014 Supporters Posted April 11, 2014 Power spray is really quick, take the parts you want to strip, put them in a big Tupperware box or plastic bag, spray them liberally with powerspray, seal it up and wait 30-40 minutes then scrub like a mofo with a stuff brush. You'll probably want a pin or something to get the last bits out of the smallest gaps that the pin can't get. CaptainSwoop 1

Supporters Lozart Posted April 11, 2014 Supporters Posted April 11, 2014 Krylon costs FAR too much... Compared to what exactly?
DX115FALCON Posted April 11, 2014 Author Posted April 11, 2014 Compared to what exactly? the spray paint that I already own...
TacMaster Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Krylon? No, a different brand I can't remember... it was good on metals but not great on plastics, left them shining when painted.
CaptainSwoop Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I have stripped paint from model kits with oven cleaner. Only once did it cause a problem that was a very old figure kit of a French Cavelry officer. I didn't test first and the plastic went all soft. never happened again on anything else though
DX115FALCON Posted April 11, 2014 Author Posted April 11, 2014 really at £6.99 a can? Where you getting that from? Only place local to me has it for £15 a can...
Supporters M_P Posted April 11, 2014 Supporters Posted April 11, 2014 It's like £7 everywhere I know... Patrol base, fire support etc Mack 1
