|  stripping powdercoat
i've done some searching and it seems to depend on personal opinion whether or not chemical paint/epoxy strippers will strip powdercoat. anybody know a certain brand that i can find at a home depot or pepboys that will work to strip the powdercoat off a tuber? |

I've been using Klean-Strip brand. KS-3 Premium Stripper. Says it strips Paint, epoxy & Polyurethane from Wood, metal & Masonry. works well. |

I used to run a Nickel/Chrome line. I tried stripping PC off some car parts and had no such luck. The acids and cleaners aren't enough to get it off since it is a plastic finish/coating. and most of the chems are stored in plastic containers. I ended up using a propane torch and some sandpaper. |

The above I used worked great. And I was stripping a two color job. chrome with candy on top. I applied it let it set for about 10 minutes. used a plastic puddy knife and scrapped it off. on some of the corners and hard to reach areas I used a tooth brush or a wire brush. |

I just found an easy way to remove powdercoating from metal parts for us without access to a sand blaster. I am trying it out right now and it seems to be going good so far the powdercoating is practically falling right off. You just spray the part with gasket remover the kind you get from napa auto parts and it melts it right off. here is a link to the site that I found it on. http://www.choppersurplus.com/global...ercoating.html  |

thanks guys. although i know doublej's technique would work since he powdercoating the thing, i'm gonna try some of that there gasket remover. i'll put my chassis in a freezer bag and spray a bunch of that in there and seal it up so it doesnt evaporate, giving it a couple shakes here and there. that technique works killer for stripping anodizing with ez off btw. almost zero mess, just gotta hold yer breath for awhile while you spray the stuff in the bag.  |

Klean strip does work well. I had some of the stuff in a cupboard and thought of trying it on a set of shocks I wanted to re-do. It took a couple days of soaking it in a brass cup. Then I needed the wire brush. Never tired the gasket remover. Will have to try that next time. And a sand blaster would probably work the quickest imo. Some are cheap at harbor frieght. |

How about brake fluid.I use it to remove paint from my lexan bodies.I just fill up a rubermaid container or a cat litter box (empty first!) about half way over the body or what ever i need to strip paint off of it works well just let it soak an hour and use a plastic mechanicis parts cleaning brush to rub any areas that need it.
