So we all know the finish on the VS sucks. I love my rDNA anyway but every time I get a shiny new tank or rda I realize how beat down it looks. Has anyone successfully striped the finish and polished or repainted? Also is there a different fire button I could put in as the finish is destroyed on this as well.

I'm kind of interested in this too, my rDNA is starting to look really bad. Im honestly just thinking of taking sandpaper to the entire body and see what comes out of it.
I have answered my own question. nail polish remover. I soaked it and it coming right off,most of it. I've done the battery door and tonight I'm doing the chip cover. I plan on useing a jewelers rogue or some sort of metal polish and a buffing wheel.
Good idea.
You might try straight acetone.
That's what nail polish remover is, without the added scents, and a little stronger.
I'd love to see some photos when you're done! I've had my rDNA 40 since June (I think?) and the finish is pretty shoddy already.
I stipped the guts from my vaporshark and had it Ceracoted at a local gunshop. They sandblasted it as part of the painting process. Cost me 25$ + 4$ for double sided tape to reattach the screen protector and the black plastic side panel.
Some older pictures but it looks exactly the same still.

double sided tape is a good idea. I was going to use gorilla glue but didn't have to. I was able to maintain the original adhesive.
I would still like to find a replacement fire button if anyone knows where to get one.
