Sand blasting, lots of sand blasting.
I powder coated a kart frame and then I could barely sand the powder coating off where one of the stiffening tubes slid on.

why strip? I would just scuff up and paint with regular paint.

Jim has a good point. If the powder coating is in nice shape, you can paint right over it. In fact, the best thing to do is just give it a good scuff and re-powder coat it.
If you have to strip it, I suggest using aircraft stripper gel (you can get this from Home Depot). Brush it in liberally and wait for the paint to bubble off. For the best finish, sandblast after you chemically strip off most of the old coating. Good luck! Gabe (former powder coater) ====== '82 SC targa '61 356 Karmann Notchback |
