This is a brand new gen 4 glock 21. You may not like glocks, that's fine. You may not like .45 acp. That's fine. You might think Samuel Colt was a homosexual and John Browning was a pussy. OK. I have about two hundred bucks in this, this.. thing, and I'm well aware it's a hideous looking monstrosity. I am a poor ass Appalachian hillbilly and I jumped on this faster than a black man would jump on a fat blonde girl. The entire fricking thing was coated in what I believe to be nail polish. The slide hasn't been much of an issue just tedious but I digress. How the frick do you get fingernail polish off of this polymer shit? Who buys a new gun and thinks "let me go ahead and frick this shit all up n sheit"? Make fun of me and my homosexual gun okay but at least help a hillbilly out with some suggestions on how to unfrickulate this if it's even possible. Thanks.
cerakote it
Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover. I'd be wary of using anything more aggressive on polymer.
Thats a p80, its not a real glock.

Definitely not a Polymer80 frame. Looks like a Glock brand Glock frame to me.
It's definitely a glock frame. It was bought by a moron roughly two months ago and it looks like it's hardly even been shot. Maybe half a box has been put through it tops. And what's up with these homosexual things on the slide serrations? People really have trouble racking these frickers? I hate that it's so ugly because it functions beautifully.
>half a box through it... tops
>bought by moron two months ago
With that much wear on the slide release? GTFO
Unfortunately, the only way out is to move forward. Just repaint it like the hillbilly you are.
>drywall fricked up
>cant afford toilet paper
>cheapest possible "wood" floor in a bathroom
>like 10k in guns
yep that sounds like me
I have shot guns where racking the slide was difficult. I have a kel tec with a slide spring that feels like it belongs in a car suspension. But glock springs are really quite mild so I don't know why you'd add those stupid pads.
I know sometimes comp guys will put that sand paper stuff thinly on the front when the have a red dot attached
Lurk more
Just get it properly refinished and maybe laser stippled and make it your own. That looks more like acrylic spray paint than nail. Almost any kind of paint remover you use will weaken that polymer sadly.
Man I am so broke buying my first place and a little land, helping my mama financially, and dealing with my fiance and her two brain tumors and coming up with three grand just so she can get another MRI and half the time I literally couldn't afford a pack of socks at China mart. Appalachia is fricked, I'm in the most fricked part I had to have a talk man to man with my neighbors husband to stop stealing shit from around my trailer and I had to talk to 7 fricking people. Luckily I only had to actually physically fight one of them. Then j had to fight a fisher cat (think large mean stinking inbred fight weasels) because she had one as a pet that constantly just attacked her until it escaped and decided to move into my insulation. I wish this were a joke. Point is, this really needs to be cost effective and not damage the functionality of the weapon.
That sucks. Okay, get some gun cleaning stuff and just thoroughly clean this first inside and out, taking it apart fully isn't difficult, just keep track of parts nicely. Then, just use alcohol or gun oil or both and #0000 steel whool to clean as much of the smurf gack as possible, then just use it as is. Painting it yourself is a big undertaking on polymer.
I too live in Beattyville,Ky. You listen to Ian Noe, hes a home town boy, but not a Black person loving homosexual like Tyler Childers turned out to be
Beattyville is a nice White town. Lexington is filling up with Black folk so fast
I love it. Funny how they say poverty is why Black folk commit so much crime, yet Beattyville is the poorest white majority town in the entire nation, still has wayyyy less crime per capita than the richest black majority town outside Silicon valley lol.
Lexington is going the route of Louisville and Murray
Easiest, safest and cheapest way to make it look good would be rattle canning it, I guess you could try acetone or something like that, but I don't know it would be worth it
Matte flat black spray paint? Any words of wisdom or warnings of potential further frickulation possibly occurring? I have never owned a glock. The only polymer pistol I ever owned was an sp2022 and it wasn't worth half a shit. The sick fricker even did the mags.
Black paint will look like trash unless you are very thorough applying it, I would put painters tape in the rails and any areas leading to the internals, leave the barrel alone, and do a pattern with a mesh or something in whichever colors suit your area
Paint it Black
>you devil!
unfrickulate is a great word man good luck getting this smurf shit off your lower it still seems like a good deal considering the cost of new glocks being bullshit.
Ass
Do the nutnfancy and grab a can of duracote or his new favorite brownells alumahyde in fde flavor. Alumahyde is like regular spray paint but more durable. You could also just use Rust-Oleum/krylon/whatever and add an extra layer of clear coat.
If it's nail polish just use acetone. Painting over it will cost more, it'll look like shit, and if you're overzealous with the paint it could impede function. Stiff toothbrush, gloves, and acetone. Get cracking.
douse that b***h in acetone, either breakfree powder blast, non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner(or supertech brand brake parts cleaner in the grey can, it's acetone and toluene), straight acetone, nail polish remover or what have you.
Acetone on a polymer frame sounds like a bad idea
IIRC the polymer glock frames are made of are a nylon derivative, acetone won't harm nylon
If the plastic is Nylon, this Anon is fully correct. It doesnt matter if the nail polish remover is aceton based or aceton-free AKA Butylacetate/Ethylacetat based.
Y'all look this stuff up before just searching "can you use acetone on a glock"?
32,000 results say "yes".
You could try some diesel fuel on a rag or some gas and see if that helps... rattle can is next cheap fix.
If OP is correct that its some paint like nail polish, the diesel or gasoline wont work that good. And if they could work,OP could remove the paint directly with gun oil or WD40 because similar chemistry on allof them. Best is a Q-TIP solvent test, if its getting colored, the solvent works and can be used with a tooth brush.
if its nail polish use some of your Bikini wax and pull it off
>OP just keep it that way. Its noow a /k/ legend you will lose value if you change it
90% isopropyl alcohol should be able to remove nail polish fine
get thinner and a wrag and it will all come off
>Who buys a new gun and thinks "let me go ahead and frick this shit all up n sheit
I have colored 2 pistols with black sharpie and a rifle as well. Then sealed them with a clear coat. Theyre my guns and Ill color them as I please. Theyre all colored with an extremely black ink. Blacker than most guns
