What is the best way to remove old powdercoating? The reason I ask is I'm trying to remove it by sandblasting and it's coming off really hard. Is there a better way?
alot of heat, be careful not to get too hot though, you can weaken your parts
Burn it off
I did mine with the aircraft stuff in the spray cans it worked the dog doo out of me but it works and alot cheaper than the sandblasterSubscribed. I'm curious if any others have had experience with the aircraft paint remover. I plan to strip our karts down this winter and have new powder coat applied, but I've read about too many negative effects to the metal from sand/media blasting. I've used the aircraft paint remover a few times on painted items and it literally melted the paint away. For those that have used it on powder coated surfaces (chassis,etc...) how much elbow grease is still required to get all of it off, especially around weld joints and hard to reach areas?

Strange too.... If blasting is sooooo bad for a frame, why would my 40 year old vintage twin enduro that I've sand blasted bare a half a dozen times since new, not had ANY issues whatsoever? Sometimes I feel folks jump on a bandwagon that theorizes a bit too deep.
