I painted one of my chmbers for my pneumatic cannon and i didnt like how it looked to i took the paint off with a goop or something like that spray, i have no idea if this will weaken the pvc and i dont want to take any chances, if someone knows please help.

I really don't think it will affect the chamber strength very much... unless you used some sort of highly corrosive cleaner.

Nah, it won't hurt it. I strip paint off my cannons with acetone, and it doesn't hurt the PVC at all.
