Luger paint color

Either of those might be a real bear to remove. A resilient finish of course would resist bead blasting, which I would prefer not to do, anyway. I've heard of some sort of "teflon" finish, but suspect that such was not used during the 60's. Powdercoating would by my current choice to replace the finish, as one series provides a thin-as-possible finish which is the most durable abailable; and its gloss can be adjusted to whatever I'd like.

I'm seeking a chemical approach as optimal, which would leave the original markings and surface texture completely alone. I may have to resort to careful sanding, but this may not adequately address the finish left in the markings. I'm hoping MEK, or similar, works.
