Hey Everyone!!! so before I sell my beloved gun...I decided to strip the shit paint job that was on it so that the next owner can get a more visual pleasing package....

So here is a tutorial on how to strip paint. TONS of Credit goes to Cheeseman since he helped me throughout the process..its him u see in pics and his hands lol

BEFORE GETTING STARTED:
make sure u have the following equipment
- Rubber Gloves for chemical washing, painting etc..
- cloth for taking paint off
- toothbrush
- wash basin or any METAL container (the liquid ure gonna use will eat plastic as we have experienced....)

#1 Get a Rust removal/paint stripping chemical liquid from local Hardware store and have it ready

#2 Dump half of the liquid (depending on the size of the container) into the container. Best way to judge on amount is that half of the metal body should be submurged in this liquid.

#2 Put the metal body in (in dissasembled state) and let it sit for 10 min on one side. Over time u will see the paint start chipping off, if it doesnt, THAT IS FINE. In ten min once u wipe it will easily come off.

#3 Flip to the other side once the 10 min is up.

#4 Grab the cloth and start wiping the leftover paint off.

#5 Once u did everything possible by wiping the paint off with the Cloth, take the toothbrush and brush in the parts the cloth couldnt get into.

#6 Wipe down the body and its pieces (if any) with dry cloth.

#6 submurge body in luke warm water in a bucket or anything u can fully submurge the body into. Keep the water running so it keeps filtering for about 2 min.

#7 Now, turn full cold water on and let in run for 2 min.

#8 Take the Body out and Dry it with CLEAN Cloth.

#9 Dampen cloth and go over the body, then dry the body with dry cloth.

#10 VOILA!!!! U R DONE!

Custom Beast back in original form after being Paint Stripped!

We hope that This tutorial will help thoes ppl inquiring as to the process of remoing unwanted paint of their metal bodies/gun parts.

BTW those scratches were there before, this process DOES NOT scratch the gun or any gun part.

HOWEVER

If you want to clean straight to the bare metal, USE Superclean and it will clean everythin right off!!!
