So here is the deal. I have always wanted a Sig P220. However, they were always WAY out of my price range. One day I walk into the local pawn shop and find a very nice P220 (R I think) for a price I can afford. The catch, it was painted with the name, rank, and service dates of the wildlife and fisheries officer that I assume sold or pawned it. It is not etched or engraved. Just painted on and u can even see where some of it is coming off where the holster must have rubbed against it. I took it to a local smith and hot the impression he was just trying to sell me a cerakote job. I am hoping that someone can recommend a method to remove this without damaging the nitron finish. Any help would be appreciated. I just didn't buy a Sig to put a $70 cerakote on it. Thank you in advance.
