removing powdercoat?

[Anthony Giampa]

Is it possible? I have some snare lugs and hoops I had 'coated a couple
years back, and I'm hoping to be able to get 'em back all chromey I so can
re-wrap the shell to match this walnut kit. Would paint stripper work? Also,
the whole plan is shot if they had to scuff my chrome, is that always
necessary for powdercoating?

From http://www.powdercoat.com/

Question: "How can I remove a powdercoat finish from the interior and
exterior of an aluminum part. Are checmical removal processes available.
High heat is not desired due to the possibility of anealing the aluminum.
Abrasive methods would likely not be able to remove the coating from the
interior surfaces."

Powder Coating Consultants: "There are both hot and cold immersion stripping
systems available for this process. Hot strippers can use chemicals, sand,
or salts. The hot strippers will not anneal the aluminum like burn-off
ovens. Cold strippers use only chemicals. If chemicals are used, be sure to
follow all the instructions, take the appropriate safety precautions, and
dispose of them properly."
