Does anyone know how to remove hydro graphic printing without damaging the bluing underneath? I recently got a Weatherby Vanguard predator in a 308 which has their ugly camo on it and would like to remove it... Any information would be appreciated thanks guys....

I don't think you are going to get results yourself.
I have all my hydrographic printing done professionally (there really is no other way). Check out Southern Hydrographics . I'm sure they can remove it or print a better pattern over it. |

Do you know if it even has blueing under it? With them selling them with the hydro on it I doubt its protected underneath. I could be wrong. I'd call in and make sure. Some steel wool and carb cleaner/ brake cleaner may do the trick.

Yes they blue them first to ensure it doesnt rust since with a hydrocoating going from warm to cold etc it can still get small amounts of moisture underneath the coating... I got it off and polished up ready for bluing... The only part I needed to get blued again is the reciever so it wasnt a big deal... I just used some of our aluminum polishing pads and it shined right up

My rifle had CERAKOTE applied for a base coat to get the Hydrographic film to adhere. The film is transparent and the base coat color can give a wide range of effect to the film that is applied.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |
