I did a pair that came out wonderful. Buy a can of acetone and let the grips soak in them for at least 24 hours which should remove most if not all the finish. If they are urethane, it won't work. Also the acetone will melt your medallions if they're plastic- I did two sets of grips like this and then rubbed several coats of oil finish and they came our with a wonderful velvet sheen. This is a great project to justify a trip to Lowe's and then sit out in the yard screwing around with it on a Saturday afternoon.
