Easy way to remove Krylon from Scope????

[Dixiedog1]

I'm looking for an easy way to remove Krylon from a scope without damaging the original finish or seals in the scope. Anybody know of a good way?

Turbo,

I went to Lowes and got a spray can of citrus paint remover.

I sprayed it on my Leupold & let it sit about an hour, brushed off the mess, took some dishsoap and warm water to it, then dryed it off.

Like new! No way you can tell it had been painted at all, in any fashion.

Cool, I figured it out a little while after I posted. I got courageous and took some Gun Scrubber on a paper towel, it wiped the paint right off

Now my new scope looks purty like a new one.

So now I know 2 ways to remove the paint. Thanks for the tip if I ever need to remove more paint I'll try the citrus remover next time.
