I tried the alcohol route, let it sit for a while and nothing. Someone suggested the Easy-Off, but I was too scared to use it.... at first. Wish I would've listened because it would've save me a bunch of time!
I tried the 91% alcohol on some Weaver Centerflow hoppers. On some, the paint came off in sheets almost immediately. On others, the paint didn't budge even after and extended bath, soaking upwards of a week. So maybe they had used different paint formulations at different times? The project went on hold so I never got around to testing anything different on the stubborn Weaver shells.
