So I got my first Glock and trying to remove cerakote

[tmschuller]

On the Glock owners site they had the same information.. spray and let set and soften using stiff brush. Over and over. Wiped with a rag and wd40 and blew out with the air compressor.. still working on it
As you can see the melted coating. That stripper really worked well

Lotta work, even beyond what you've already done to clean up the nooks and crannies. Then you just got a plain 'ol Glock.

I'd make sure it was prepped right and shoot it with a color you liked. A unique color would be cool. Silver/Chrome? Red/White/Blue? Kryptec Camo?

FYI - The muzzle end of the slide will always be a problem with the Gen 4. If you ever holster it much there will be finish wear at the muzzle end.

Thank you, I learned something today.

Wonder if it was cerakoat or duracoat though?

Eh, I'd just clean it up as much as possible and then leave it be. It will eventually all come off the externals with wear, and cleaning it.

That’s the plan. I am going to take it all apart and use a pick to clean the rest of the small places oil and put it back together. Funny thing is I have not shot it yet..

I too am interested in the stripper. Pics??

 

[tmschuller]

I’ve got nothing after that picture... eye bleach applied

Could be. I've used ATF fluid as well as Citri-strip to remove Duracoat.

Brittish stripper.

Seems like a weird color to begin with. I guess I'm used to seeing darker stuff.

I think it's supposed to be desert tan.

I would have just took the slide back to black. I have some in different factory colors and I think they only make so many.

 

[tmschuller]

I thought about it but it was coming off. Thanks

 

[tmschuller]

Why is that?? Because of the solvent Or getting possibly gummed up?? Thanks

 

[STEEL CORE]

Looks like your doing great, I would have worried about softening the polymer frame, and I bet getting it out of everywhere must be a pain.
Nice Gen 4.

That's sweet looking.

Glock in the OP looks like a plain ol rattle can job. You're on the right track getting that color off there. Looks like a desert sand or light beige not FDE.

(Nice 23 sigblitz)
Here's my FDE 22

Yep. If it wasn't removed beforehand, it'll need replaced due to the solvents.

 

[tmschuller]

Ok. I will order one today .. watching video to see how. Any advice prior to doing this? Thanks
