Bought a slightly used rifle, a previous owner spray painted the entire gun. Gun has a synthetic stock, what can I use to remove the spray paint without hurting the original finish on the gun? Any Ideas would be greatful...

Most paint thinners or strippers will change the finish of the original plastic.

14 hrs later, could have been cut to 1/3 of that by using klean strip premium sprayable stripper. Put it on within minutes paint was practically falling off on its own. Some spots had to be repeated, gun, stock, scope, bolt and bipod are back to original finish. Might need to refinish barrel, but was going too anyway.
Thanks for all the advice.

In bootcamp we'd use OFF bug spray to clean armory numbers, adhesive residue, and other sorts of crap off of the buttstocks of our M16's. It's actually really strong stuff and will strip paint off a concrete floor with ease, but it didn't do any damage to the synthetic stocks or the handguards.
