Powder coat removal question.
I have to remove the powder coating off my bolster seat bases. I have had many things powder coated before and have never had a problem. I talked to a friend yesterday who told me he went to take his bases last year to be repowder coated and the guy said to bring it to someone to sand blast it . So he did. The sand blast guy said the powder coat was to tuff to sand blast off, so he wanted no part of it . So my question is : can the old powder coat be sand blasted off with a heavy duty blaster? Thanks , Tom

Acetone!!
Soak the parts in it for a couple of minutes and the powdercoating just falls off. No chit!

This is after a couple minutes of soaking. It's so easy and simple that it's scary

ACETONE......it takes off QUALITY PREPED..... EXTERIOR POWDERCOATING.
$10 for material. 3 min soak time.
Or, in the intrest of sending buisness to OSO members, Send it to someone who has "developed" a method.

You need to ask BruceK if you want anything regarding powdercoating done. Thundercoatings does work for some of the high end engine builder and his stuff is first rate.
