Gunsmithing Cerakote Removal Question

[samnev]

I have a bipod that has been Cerakoted and I need to remove it. Other than sand blasting is there any over the counter stripper that will effectively remove the Cerakote.
TIA

Ya I've tried acetone till my elbows couldnt scrub anymore.

You need an abrasive blaster. Then it will need to be re-coated.

Re: Cerakote Removal Question

What grit are you using. I've got a barrel that needs re-coating. Will garnet media work?

Keith,
Thanks for the reply. The Bipod is for a TRG 22 and was Cerakoted Tan. I want to have it redone in a color that as closely matches the original black color. I Kryloned it Black but I don't think it will hold up when the legs are rotated. If not i'll have to have it redone. Do you have an estimate how much it will cost. I am in Prescott. AZ so I am close to you.
Thanks,
Santo (Sam) Giunta

If you make the drive over I'll do it for just the cost of media usage and paint. Say $10
Numbers 480-467-8090

I have company today and tomorrow, and am in school all week, but next Friday or Saturday would probably work if you can wait that long.
