Paint Removal From A Tennite Stock

Anyone got any suggestion? I have been using rubbing alcohol and 0000 steel wool but it is slow.It appears to have been painted black with a rattle can.

I highly recommend using the orange stripper (Citristrip). Should be safe for the plastic and works well to remove paint. Still takes time.

I'll second that^  I did some experimenting with a broken Tenite stock that I replaced with wood. Treat it like the paint on a car. 1000grit wet&dry sand paper on a block will take out scuffs and scratches. Auto body polishing compound brings back the sheen, and a buffed out coat of Johnsons paste wax makes it look new.

Works really really great on wood.      Unsure about tenite.

Hoppe's No. 9 took spray paint off my truck tailgate.

This is what worked for me.I bought a couple of quarts of Awesome cleaner/degreaser at the Dollar General,put the stock and forend in a 5 gallon bucket of warm water with the Awesome cleaner and left it over night.Next morning 90% of the paint had soaked off.I am going to let them soak the rest of the day and they should be good.

Don't know how good this would work on Tenite but gun oil and fine steel wool took the big white stenciled police ID numbers off of the stock on a Winchester model 1200 riot pump shotgun that I bought.  It did a pretty good job. You can still see some signs that there was something there but not bad. It's a $125 gun so no big deal.
