Before I knew better I did a revolver with the bonanza real gold dust inlay kit about 1975. It did come off with gun solvent. The clear coating the kit comes with doesn’t hold up. I think I have two of the gold inlay kits left. Try soaking it with solvent mine came off little by little.

Food for thought,
The kit instructions is first wash the area to be inlaid with gold. Rubbing Alcohol, let dry, then add the glue wipe off the excess, apply the gold dust. Let the glue dry, then add the clear. At the time I thought it looked cool. I learned what was new in ‘75 wasn’t collectable but fast forward to today it’s collectable.
