72 Duster Resurrection

If you sand blast the powder off, it might work ... but you'll probably tear up the surrounding areas too. Whether it comes off at all is going to depend on a well-done job versus a hack job. :D Like painting a car, great prep is everything.

They make Powder Coating Stripper. It's not usually available to the consumer in affordable quantities but you might be able to find some on ebay or something (I get 5 gallon containers for $150 plus shipping here PowderStrip Powder Coating Paint Stripper). If you're "lucky," aircraft stripper can work too but, again, it depends on how well the job was done and whether it adheres. If the parts were completely covered, it's fairly likely it was a rookie job and it might be under- or over-cured which will make it come off easier.

Thanks to @KosmicKuda for the mention! (Phoenix Powder is in Jersey and has nothing to do with my shop by the way ... but your heart is sure in the right place!!!! << hugs >>)

Hello Leanna! Thanks for chiming in, sounds like you are the right lady to talk to about coatings! Totally dig the work I see on your website, very nice. If I ever get real serious about this I may email you...

The more I see, the more I think the powder job on the control arms I bought was......sub standard.

What would you say is the most effective way to strip the powder out of these areas if you had to pick? Sandblast? Stripper? Wire wheel? I am not a stickler for perfection or "show quality", so I dont care about possibly chewing up the rest of the coating.
