FP powdercoating removal?

[NVJAY775]

Trying to get the powdercoating, or whatever it is off the B1 expansion chamber and the headpipe. Tried paint remover. Anybody done this before? And how?

caustic soda strips powdercoating
liquid crystal draino is caustic soda
that being said, never tried it on FPP hardware

wal mart sells a product called 'airplane remover'.

Spray it on-let it set 15 min-rinse w/water, scrape finish off w/plastic putty scraper. If necc-repeat a 2nd time. Super easy-WEAR rubber gloves while doing it. (product will remove your finger prints) lol

I have thought about stripping mine and buffing it up. It might be one of those projects that sounds like a good idea and then halfway through you wonder why you started. I tend to do that a lot.

Take it to a place that does powder coating in your area and have them acid dip it or purchase some aircraft paint remover like Gil said.

"Aircraft remover" Is what I have seen it called.

I did this exact thing for the Mason Waddle boat! I used my glass bead cabinet then hand sanded it with 220 grit sandpaper then polished it. It was time consuming, a chemical stripper might be better the glass bead's put a small profile on the chamber.

Dangit! I forgot to try liquid crystal draino. I GOTTA try that. Thanks TOR*P*DO. Missed the powdercoater today. Try again tomorrow. I'm still trying the draino first though. Thanks for the offer stanton. I'm going to try leaving this one raw.

Tal-strip, available at autoparts stores. Before and after pics. The after was polished. Tal-strip took almost all the factory coating off. Just had to hit the weld areas with a wire brush to finish removing.

Stanton, that's a good price there.

Talked to the powdercoater yesterday. He said it sounds like ceramic coating. But he will only charge me $20.00 to tidy it up for me. So, I'm doing the lazy way out. Maybe I'll do a couple pics.
