Just traded for a like New G26/Gen3 for carry. Only problem with it is the Punisher Skull on both side of the grip!
Anyone know what I can use to take it off and not destroy the frame?

Might be able to use some brake fluid. That stuff definitely eats paint although not super fast but I don't think it would hurt the polymer. Test on a magazine first. Soak a paper towel and wrap the affected area with it. Other things like actually paint stripper or lacquer thinner might damage the polymer. Just test before diving in.

hard to say , especially without knowing what kind of paint. most things that will remove paint will do at least some damage to plastic.
Sanblast and Cerakote over it.
On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.

You might try a simple pencil eraser, a lot of glues pants don't adhere well to the polymer frames material. It might rub off.
A couple of options:
1. I would try paint thinners from 100% alcohol, acetone, lacquer thinner, xylene and finally MEK in this order ascending from mild to strong. With the alcohol, i'd wet a paper towel and wrap it around the grip the maybe scrub with a bronze brush gently.
As a finaly option, i would try some paint stripper after testing on a mag to see if it softens the plastic.
2. Mask and bead blast grip panels.
3. Stipple.

I have also found that Hoppe's #9 can work on things that alcohol, mineral spirits, & acetone fail at, and is considerably more plastic-friendly than acetone. As mild as it is, it's worth a try.
Gun zilla soaked in to a "magic eraser " or other clp soaked in a "magic eraser " might have to let it sit on the paint a while, but it will come off
You could also cover it with a new design, decal, or simply a round black spot.
Start with CLP on a nylon brush and see what that's doing. Paint or cerakote over it isn't a bad option either.
I thought of just putting Talon Grips on it. But with my luck, if I ever had to use a weapon to defend myself this would be the one! I’m a believer of “a good shoot is a good shoot” but do not want to give a hot shot DA any reason to be a SJW if the grip wraps start to peel off.
I will post pictures when I go a pick it up Monday, but the skulls (which are pretty cool and well done) look like they are just spray painted on with a clear coat over it. Hope the Hoppes 9/CLP suggestion works. Gawd knows it’s removed Stuff I DIDN’T want gone.
I have went to this shop for the last six months a “founded” this G26 ever time and the owner just offered me a price I couldn’t refuse. Even with the added $40 of cerakoting the frame, it’s below what a used one would be. I’m thinking the clerk that traded for this, isn’t working there anymore.

Did you try soaking it in Kroil?

I've removed paint from nylon (Zytel) with carb cleaner. A brass bristle brush might work as well. Glocks are supposed to be tough, go for it!

I have a Model 36 I'm looking at for a buddy. Looks to have the Brownells type bake paint on it. It is real thick. Dropped the trigger and hammer in Acetone and it did Nada! I may try the brake fluid trick.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
Well, I asked some real gun nerds and due to the thickness of the paint and were it was located and the amount, O decided to pass on the G26 and went with a boring G23.
