The Easiest Way To Remove Powder Coating, Stripping Powder Coating on Mild Steel Using CRC Gasket Stripper and Paint Stripper tested both products to see which product gives best results.
I found using Paint stripper was a lot better than the CRC reason being it cleans neater and less mess I left both products soak for 10 minutes before scrapping off the paint then I clean the rest with acetone.

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

[@Letsmakesomething1]

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.

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

[@CraftwerksMC]

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

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

[@freyatilly]

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

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

[@Letsmakesomething1]

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

[@chrischann3498]

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

[@Letsmakesomething1]

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

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.

[@Letsmakesomething1]

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.

[@AudieChason]

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.

[@AudieChason]

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

[@user-vy8ef9fk9i]

I use paint stripper works great, and its less messy then the crc and i don't think crc is meant for stripping paint but I've seen people use it. don't know why they use it over paint stripper as the cost is a lot higher then your standard paint stripper

[@garyzhang5099]

Because not every country allow such strong paint stripper for individual buyers. The strongest stripper I found in Canada is pro form aircraft stripper, and it just doesn’t work very well on powder coating

[@mankihonda983]

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

[@Letsmakesomething1]

Good to know, I’ll give it a try.
