I have a Springfield Armory Match 1911 that is black and stainless steel. The black paint evidently didn't cure properly from the factory and I got tired of it scratching off from my leather holster. So I got some industrial paint stripper that is suppose to work on baked on paints and so the saga begins.
In order to get to all of the paint on the lower reciever I had to <span style="font-weight: bold">COMPLETELY</span> disassemble the pistol all the way down to removing the trigger so I could get inside the trigger guard. It took about 10 minutes to disassemble the gun, 20 minutes to clean the gun from the last range session, 80 minutes to remove all of the paint and reoil the frames, and <span style="font-weight: bold"> <span style="color: #FF0000"> 120 minutes to put the %@@#$@er back together!</span></span>
It is finally finished, reassembled and function tested. Thank god for the internet with step by step reassembly instructions WITH PHOTOS!
The pistol look really sharp with half polished stainless and hald brushed stainless look.
