Thanks Eddie and Paul.  I was going to put a little on a rag and scrub the paint with it.  I might just stick with the acetone.

I scrubbed off all of the spray paint with acetone.  There was a couple of beautiful bows under all of that gunk.
















The 55 lb bow has some good looking wood in the riser.  It's my favorite out of the two.

Xylene is some nasty stuff to play with. I'll take acetone anyday. I really like the black one myself. I'll trade you a matching 52" for the black one. ??? ;D

I stopped at an antique swap meet on my way to work this morning.  I left with 3 pieces of cast iron.

Those look like campfire cast iron. Do you reseating them or leave them be for wall hangings

Got these cast aluminum pots, skillets, fryer, and griddle at my granny's auction. Man they cook good food. Can't use the griddle we have a smooth top stove.
