How do you get powdercoat off

[SmokinRAM114]

I just got a used lift for my cummins and i want to RE powder coat it but i want to strip it first. How do you do this? As a sand blaster will not take it off. is it mediablasting that will? anybody do it on here or where can i have it done at?

THANKS, chris

The easiest way to get PC off is the same way it goes on.
With heat. You can get away with a propane torch and a wire wheel for the smaller stuff. the larger items I usually start a fire a throw it in. I made the mistake of trying to burn off PC on what I thought was an aluminum wheel, turned out it was magnesium and up she went. Fire so bright you couldn't look at it, pretty green flames. Sometimes I don't even remove the old PC, I just blast the rust and feather out the edges with a DA and PC right over the top. If there is nothing wrong with the original PC you can go right over it. I do it all the time.

two words....EXPEN SIVE! last time I checked it was $1.50 per minute to use their sandblaster. Most powdercoaters will remove old PC for you for a nominal fee...they have to mediablast whatever it is they're going to coat anyway.

scuff up and smooth whats already there. no worries.

I work in a powdercoating shop, and when stuff ends up ****ed up (water, dirt, paint too thick) we clean up the suspect area w/ 150 grit, then scotchbrite, and wash it clean and run it thru again.
