I am not a gunsmith and i've never put any finish on any gun other than cammo paint. I recently aquired a llama 1911 that had some finish issues and previous owner painted it green. I was going to leave it like that till i shot the gun. It digested every peice of junk. 45acp ammo i had, and was pretty accurate. Any ideas on what kind o f paint removal and refinish job would be best for me to try? Thanks, i wouldn't try this on some other guns but i dont think i can hurt this one.
