White paint removal.

[Fuzz]

I just picked up a Citadel 1911 9mm and this gun has white lettering on the slide. I do not care for that so I would like to remove it. The slide is Parkerized. Any suggestions on how to remove that without removing the Parkerization? Thanks for any assistance.

I bought a USGI M14 stock that had a rack number stenciled on it in white paint, I used a little dab of break fluid on it and it came right off. Might work on it

If it is coloring that someone added try some Acetone and a tooth brush followed up buy a protective coating of Remoil(or your preference) to prevent corrosion. I have a Citadel. It wasn't painted. So hopefully somene added it with model paint or nail polish and Acetone should remove it. Anything more aggressive then acetone will probably affect the parkerizing.

When I lettered my lower I used model paint and Hoppes #9 solvent to remove the excess paint from the area. Might want to make sure that Hoppes#9 solvent will not remove the parkerization.

Hoppie's doesn't bother parkerizing. I have the same gun and that is what I use to clean it.

This gun is new and I noticed that the older ones did not come with that but now they do. Just looks cheezy to me. But this was on from the factory.

Sir,

You do know that this is exactly what Dremmel tools are for.........

If a dremel is not in your budget there's alway's a file

I've seen people use the Birchwood Caseys cold blue on rock islands to tone down the lettering on the slide. This may work for you also.

If acetone won't take it out, I wouldn't try anything more aggressive. What about color filling black over the white?
