Nitromors? Should be strong enough
Re: Advise wanted :) removing powder coat. - spike2002 - 04-05-2012
I have been told that stuff is useless and wont touch the powder coat?
Re: Advise wanted :) removing powder coat. - 4WayDiablo - 04-05-2012
Possibly I wouldn't really know but I know it will eat through paint easy.
Re: Advise wanted :) removing powder coat. - spike2002 - 04-05-2012
Yes ive striped wheels with it before and it eats normal paint but been told it wont touch the powder coat as its alot stronger.

Nitromorse, I've done 4 coats on mine, cleaned it up and then used a wire brush took most of the paint off, then used wire will and p80 lol. So far one wheel has taken 6 hours just to get up to p400 grit haha
