Cleaning off paint

Hi guys hope someone can help. I have just received a Begins grapple gun that is in need of some serious work. It is painted it what appears and smells like acrylic paint, what would be best used to clean it with.


Thanks in advance.

Re: Cleaning off paint

Use alcohol to strip it off if it's acrylic, for enamels and lacquers I always use brake fluid.

Enter at your own risk...
