Re: [Chrysler300] Powder Coating Removal

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because it's epoxy, very few solvents are able to cut it.  The way it's 
done professionally is to bake it off in an oven at about 700/800 
Degrees (cure temperatures for powder coat are usually about 
400degrees).  This high temperature will turn the powdercoat to ash.  
You can accomplish the same thing without an industrial oven by blazing 
it off with a propane torch.  After that a touchup with media blast will 
give the surface a final cleanup.
