How do you strip chrome?
cd:
Moose,
No.. :'( ...... powder isn't magic unfortunately. The surface has to be smooth but lightly keyed to get a good finish that will adhere properly. Hence a fine grit blast for those who don't fancy rubbing for hours on end. Wet sprayers (ala paint cans) can put multiple coats on much easier if you are after a show finish. Multiple coats with powder is more difficult since it has to be baked in between each coat to melt the resin beads.

i believe the guy who powder coats mine, sand blast's the frame, forks, ect..................... before coating :-\
cd:
Duncan,
You mentioned if GT frames were powder coated originally. I doubt it as powder has only recently had widespread use in the last 15 years.

I'm not sure if GT's were powder coated but there were some early BMX manufacturers that powder coated - I'm sure Mongoose was one
