I just painted my old gb gun with rustoleum because it sticks well to PVC but then relized it has acetone in it, will it weaken the gun, should I stop using it. I also noticed regular Krylon paint contains acetone.

Well the rustoleum says it has two chemicals in fusion and also acetone. But if krylon has acetone then you should be fine...

But krylons not made for plastics

Many people don't use krylon fusion for their pvc cannons, and they still survive, but I'm always a little toward the safe side. Did you paint the whole thing with the rustoleum?

Yep but I'm
may rebuild it in the future anyway I'll see what other people have to say first though

Why bother rebuilding it when you have another one already

Remember I broke the valve

Oh my bad... then why would you bother painting it? I thought you said you painted the old one.

Yeah because im upgrading to a sprinkler pilot, and a piston upgrade

Oh so did you finish rebuilding the valve yet? How are you eupgrading the piston?

no i havent started, im not sure if im gonna bother with natures fury but my old one i am if i find out the paint is ok

How much of the gun is painted?

the chamber and tee

Oh, so most of it. That kinda sucks, google what affect acetone has on plasics.

I don't think you have very much to worry about. The acetone in the paint is far from pure and I doubt even straight acetone would have much effect on a PVC gun's strength if applied like a paint.
