Powder Coat Removal..... !!!!!!!!!
« on: April 01, 2009, 11:10 AM »
I've got a Profile H.I.P stem and I'm trying to remove the powder coat, I've tried the gasket remover.....didn’t even touch it.... :(

Can I heat it up to "melt/burn off" the powder?

I've got a media blasting booth but I'd prefer a chemical removal (saves time on polishing) option first....

Anyone any recommendations?
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Are you sure its powder? That gasket strip seems to only work on powder.

Have you tried paint stripper?

admiting you have an "assumption" problem is the first step to overcoming it  :LolLolLolLol:

The next step is to try some paint stripper ;D

I had a frame that paint stripper & gasket remover would not touch  :(

So I gave it to SBD & he has got some industrail paint stripper & that done the job  8)

He also powdered it for me  :smitten:
