Pretty sure that was wetpaint, not powder coated.

Nah it’s powder coated, but it turns out paint stripper in Australia is stronger compared to other countries.

AT makes one that has double the MC content and its half the price of CRC.

Is it possible to dry and reuse powder coating powder that has gotten wet from water accidentally falling on it?

@freyatilly 6 ай бұрын

I used paint stripper for my powdercoated bike front fender. Hardly touched the surface. Was told that sandblasting or silicone ball blasting is more appropriate. 1) we didn't see the powdercoating process. Looks like regular spray paint. What was the process for that paint? 2) didnt see the paintstripper product name. 3) What was the liquide used to clean off residue? (Isopropyl?) Thanks

Aloha. I see you are in Australia. Your paint remover must contain MEK which is now banned in Europe and the US. Paint strippers available in those countries will not strip powder coat. I’ve tried all of them and the tricks, like wrapping the item in plastic kitchen wrap. The only effective, but much more time consuming and complicated solution is to use either a paint strip disc on an angle grinder or burn it off with a touch, or a combination. I have a propane weed torch that works reasonably well but it takes awhile to sufficiently heat the part. Note, many commercial powder coaters use bake off ovens to remove old coatings.

That’s really bad, I’ve tried using a paint strip disc but it clogs up pretty quick and having to much heat causes metal warping.

I'm having good luck with the 2 and 4.5" strip discs I can get from Amazon. They chew through powder coat pretty quickly so I have not had any heat issues. There are a few KZbin videos of people using acetylene torches and it removes powder coat so fast, that the metal doesn't have time to heat up. I'm giving serious thought to getting a laser rust and paint remover. It also removes powder coat very quickly with no damage to the metal. Its probably the best solution there is but the devices are close to $1000.

Methylene Chloride. And it was only removed from consumer chemicals. You can still get it in various "professional only" chems which are still sold to anyone who knows to find them, like gasket removers. "AT" still makes a gasket remover with 75% MC content. Methyl Ethyl Ketone or MEK isn't banned at least not as a hardener, you can still buy it in pure form by the gallon for your composite and 2K paint jobs.

@@mankihonda983 I just ordered a 1500w laser paint stripper from China. Hopefully, that will solve my powder coat stripping frustrations.

i want to do this on my rims would this damage the aluminum if i use the head gasket remover?

@Letsmakesomething1 7 ай бұрын

No it wouldn’t as most of the gaskets sit on aluminium like the water pump and the cylinder head.

What brand stones are used? And grits that were used in the video?

@Letsmakesomething1 8 ай бұрын

Hi the stones used are A DMT brand and grits are fine, extra fine and extra extra fine. Hope this helps.

Will it work for an aluminum intake manifold? I bought a used one and it its powder coated black with lots of clear

@Letsmakesomething1 9 ай бұрын

Yes it should, but you might need to apply it a bit thick about 2-3mm thick.

@richardhouse7997 10 ай бұрын

Would’ve been nice to see what kind of paint stripper that was instead of hiding the label dammit!

@Letsmakesomething1 9 ай бұрын

Sorry it wasn’t intentional to hide the label, I didn’t give it much attention because a lot of paint strippers will do the same job , but the paint stripper I used in the video was Poly paint stripper, it removes all household oil and water-based paints and most industrial, marine and automotive finishes.

I have to wonder how well that plate was powder coated? I only say this because more often than not most any paint stripper made now will have little or no effect on a properly powder coated item. Ever since they removed Methyl Ethly Chloride from paint strippers most of them will barely remove paint much less powder coat.

@AIsk-qh6pq 10 ай бұрын

this made my life so much easier i was using flap discs to remove it only if i knew paint stripper works with powder coat to remove it, i guess you always learn

If won't now days unless it is some really old stripper or something made outside the USA.
