That looks fantastic!  Looks like you just gave her new life, or atleast a prettier life.

How about a little how to?

How did you get all that paint off without damaging the underlying glass, stickers, coins, nock overlays, etc.?

Nice work btw.

Way to go, Cottonwood, what a nice job you did taking away ugly and leaving good looking! I agree with Whip and jess stuart. I'm beginning to get that same feeling when I see a nice Super Kodiak that I get when I see a '57 Chevy, both are "classics" in my book.

The Grayling 76 needs and will be getting sent off later to The Bow Hospital for a full restoration.

I had called Lamont at 3Rivers I believe, and he said because the previous owner more than likely used Rustolium paint to test first with thinner, or alcohol, and if that did not work to use acetone on a rag.  He said it would not harm the laminat or the glass.  It didn't even hurt the decals on the limbs as you can see.

Here is a video I did this morning for another forum board that we have what is falled First Shot Friday (FSF) of each week, where we take our first shot on some specified target.  This week I called it as I won last weeek, to hit a ketsup package inside a water bottle suspended, from a sitting on butt position from 10 yards.

 

I just did it to do it, since I called the event for this week I was not counting my shots for score.
