What chemical would you use to remove krylon spray paint off of a cerakote surface??

Recent purchase AR15 Upper with a little green spray paint on the Factory FDE finish. Might as well remove it

Citrus strip safe on cerakote?

Thanks guys

It should pose no problems to the finish.

Acetone and brake cleaner have both worked for me. Rub a dub dub.

Why don't you ask a Cerakote applicator?

I don't think Citri-Strip will hurt the CreaKote...but I would certainly test a small area before going full hog!

Shouldn't be hard at all to remove .
Citri strip like you mentioned
Ceracoat PROPERLY applied is really resitant to gun cleaning solvents to include montana extreme extreme copper killer. JME.

test a small area 1st like others have mentioned

Cerakote is a ceramic based material. Citristrip for the win.
