Most of you know how negative I've been about powder coating. Well, I dipped my toe in the water & bought some very nice early intake plenums that had been powder coated. Apparently the coating wore off in several places during shipment (packed in paper). They're nice, but they will need to be refinished.
Questions here are: How difficult is powder coating to remove? Can it readily be painted over? If so, suggested process? Pat |

Pat, I didn't think powder coating was in your vocabulary. I ran into a simular problem. Sandblasting.. no go. Chemicals.. no go. Took it to a PC place, and they baked it off. Came out perfect. Aircraft stripper is ineffective if your considering that. The shop said that a paint stripper called Ready Strip? could work with some effort. You'll have to etch the pc for it to get into it to work. Get if baked off or dipped, like previously suggested if you want it removed.
