I soaked my rails and grab handles in acetone. In less than a minute, the P/Cing peeled off in sheets. I think it may also depend type/brand/ quality of the P/Cing itself that will work. Mine were all the Fountain factory parts.

After soaked and peeled

Anodizing is stripped in a caustic solution.A Job Shop that does anodizing should also offer stripping.We have a Hard Coat Anodize system at work,but it is for production only.

I think that certain brake cleaners will take off powder coat as well.

Annodizing can be taken off with oven cleaner. Apply and let it soak. For some parts it might take several applications. You're going to want to polish or re-coat it afterward as it will be dull and ugly when you get done with it.

We soak the parts in carburetor cleaner. After a couple of hours just hose it off.

I've found that all you need is a little chip in the powdercoating and then get it near salt water and the coating will peel off in sheets(at least on aluminum parts)

Seriously,
If you are planning on polishing then I would try one of the chemicals posted above to remove it, but if you are going to be recoating with something I would sandblast to remove the old coating, it will leave some "tooth" for the new coating to adhere to.

If you are going back to powdercoat, you had better get the piece as polished as possible first. The powdercoat finish will be much better. Powdercoat only need clean to adhere to.Also I would consider a chrome powdercoat instead of leaving aluminum polished.The shines will be better than polish, but slightly less than true chrome. It really looks good.

Just got back from the marina............

Stripped a set of Keith Eickert flame arrestors with aircraft paint stripper
made by Klean Strip.
Brush it on and let it do its thing.
The powdercoat will wrinkle up and all you have to do is use a plastic scraper
to clean off.
