Re: stripping powdercoat?
 

Last winter I stripped my swim platform (Extreme Marine). I took it to a sandblaster - he just gave it back to me after a few hours. It wouldn't even dent the stuff. I tried Acetone - it wouldn't do anything either. Finally tried the airplane stripper - it was the best. Still wasn't an easy job, but it got done.

As someone else indicated, I think it all depends on the type of powdercoating.

My platform is Extreme M. also, where do I find aircraft stripper? Spray on?

Autozone carries it in spray cans. After a bunch of cans, I decided to buy a gallon. I called the company "Mar-hyde" and found a local place that could order it for me. The stuff is called "Tal-strip Aircraft Coating Remover" and I think their part number for the gallon is 3713.

Hey guys,
I too have an Extreme Marine platform that needs to be re-coated or painted... :rolleyes:
Can I just sandblast and then paint over what ever does not come off?

Why not just ask Slingshot, he's been in the business a long time. If he knows how to put it on he probably knows how to take it off.
