Does anyone know of a way to strip the finish of a Medalist and redo the original finish?

No, but why would you want to? Is it that bad?

I understand the original owner has passed, and the family is now doing this, but when I dealt with them a couple years ago I found them to be outstanding.

pillcastor.....I talked to Bill at onepfoot several years ago and he said he was working on a method but as far as I know he never finished the task.
Dave, good question for which I don't have a good answer except to say "because i want to try too." I guess it's kind of like why would you refinish an antique car?

I have stripped a couple. I used regular paint stripper. I then used a Dremal tool with with a sanding disk that looks like 3m pad. I then sprayed it with Alumna Hyde from Brownell's.

I used denatured alcohol and a tooth brush. then hit it with a dremel with a bronze brush. I used a valspar spray in semi gloss black that i got from the local Tractor Supply(only place i've seen it) the finiah is close. not too glossy and not a flat black.
