My sisters father in law destroyed the finish on her husbands Beretta O/U. He used Gorilla Tape and foam to raise the comb. When the tape was removed, the clearcoat finish came with it. Not entirely, but in spots. My brother in law is deceased, and I am refinishing the O/U for my sister to pass along to her sons. I tried Citristrip last night and it did not budge the clearcoat? I am in the process of trying a different stripper as I write this. I am wondering if Beretta might have used an epoxy-based clearcoat vs. polyurethane etc.? If the finish does not dissolve, what are my options? Lacquer thinner? Do I have to mechanically remove the finish by sanding? Anyone dealt with this?
