I recently rescued a late model M-1 pot from the scrap heap at a NE military base. It had apparently been used in a skit or something because it has some silver paint on it that was obviously applied by someone for a non-military purpose.

I know it’s supposed to be coated with a chemical resistant coating, but does anyone know how to safely remove what appears to be fairly low-quality laquer or acrylic?

Is paint thinner or mineral spirits safe?

Many thanks!
