Removing powder coat - best options
burchy75:
My K1 frame is currently powder coated but I'm not overly happy with the quality. I inherited it when I bought the basket case itself but they didn't cover off threads and things like that and the general appearance of it is a bit naff.
Now I've got a load of frame mods to do for my CR build so it's going to have to be stripped at some point and I wanted to get an idea on what the best options are. I've heard using strippers, is the best way to go (pardon the expression ;), ones specifically that have methanol or something in them, although this could be complete BS. I did use paint stripper when I was attacking the K3 yoke I have here but that took forever to get the powder coat off. Obviously sandblasting is probably the way to go but just interested if anyone had any pearls of wisdom.
I also wanted to ask about the inside of the frame itself as I noticed when I moved it there sounded like bits moving around in there. I know they are getting on a bit but is there any way of making sure that the metal is treated inside against corrosion prior to getting the exterior powder coated?
Trigger:
The lose stuff inside the frame will be grit from when it was blasted the first time pre powder.
What are you intending to do if you can remove the powder ? If you are going to powder it again it just needs rubbing down with a scotch pad.
