HarryBaker Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had the same "issue" and whether they know how to remove the White Mark that comes underneath the serial number on the Krytac guns. I got a LVOA-S yesterday and it has a mark as shown in the image. I've been told this is a quality control mark from Krytac but was wondering whether anyone knows how to remove this as it stands out like a sore thumb and is annoying the hell out of my OCD... Any advice is appreciated ?
clumpyedge Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Alcohol wipe? that's what i take off most adhesives with and small marks from pens etc. they tend not to be as harsh as things like acetone etc.

The Lower Receiver is Green and the white appears to be something on top of the paint. At first I thought it was Tipex but it seems to not be raised as you would expect. There's only 1 other post online on a Krytac forum which ended with somebody claiming it can be wiped off but didn't state what they used. Just ordered some alcohol wipes so will see how that goes first.

Just be careful then and only apply it directly to the white marking and you should be fine, when Ive used chalk pens on bits and pieces that are also painted the alcohol wipes do the job without removing the paint or smearing.

Guest Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 If you check out the Krytac technical forum you’ll see it’s an import mark for Europe. Mine came off my Vector with a touch of rubbing alcohol

emilianoksa Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 It isn't easy to get isopropyl alcohol in the UK, unless you order it online. Well worth getting some though. It's a great degreaser for barrels for example and for preparing surfaces for painting or gluing. It evaporates very quickly and leaves no traces or smells behind. And it has plenty of uses as a cleaner other than in airsoft.

Brilliant fun in an ultrasonic cleaner....
Asomodai Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Just use deodorant. Lynx will do. That's what I use to clean all sorts of gunk off.

Non ?
HarryBaker Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 I've ordered some medical Alcohol wipes that I will use. I do have 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol used to clean computer parts but was worried it might be too strong and do damage to the paint. I'll give the wipes a test and if no luck use some of that to try get it off. As mentioned, will use in a discreet place first
