The drives are powder coated. The best way to get powder coating off is the same way it went on- heat. Take them to a powdercoater and let them put the drives in their oven- 400 degrees or so should do it. The stuff will just fall off. Plus, you'll leave the conversion coating that's applied to the drive for anti corrosion intact. Sanding or sandblast will remove it
