Finallly I tried a few things on the UMG. It was really a tough job since it doesn't have a removable flash hider or barrel. I've tried again with the furniture varnish remover, leaving it in longer but just the vapors of the damn thing started to screw with some of the ABS parts so I had to find another solution.
The nail varnish remover was a joke, didn't affect anything. I finallly tried the Easy-off oven cleaner. At first it pretty much had the same effect has as the furniture varnish remover, so I left it on a little while to see what would happen. Big mistake. That thing is strong ! Ate right thru the baked on paint to the bare metal. Well so much for keeping the undercoat intact. So I scrubed off all the remainning particles of paint on the bare metal, bought some high quality metal primer (black primer for car paint) and some high quality metal paint / mat black finish and after about 2 primer coats + 6 finish coats, you couldn't tell the difference so it turned out ok in the end.
I wish I could've tried the brake fluid too, might've had some better luck. If anybody else out there knows about any other tricks, feel free to post them on this thread !
