It comes powder coated from the factory. PC'd before the machine work, so machined areas are bare. I've prepped, epoxy primed and painted over PC'd blocks in the past, and had the layers come off the PC finish in sheets. Now, I use chemical stripper; wire brush; pressure washer BEFORE hot tanking. Hot tanking afterwards pretty well guarantees you got it all off.
Thanks I was wondering if it was powdercoated the guy at the machine shop thought it may have been some kind of epoxy paint .some of the edges look like they would peel of but they don't. I may use stripper on a small area .
