Im guessing they can as they strip the old chrome off before re chroming as far as I know so I would think the same could apply to powder

Stripping chrome is totally different.  they reverse the process of chroming . .. that wouldnt work with powder .. the chromers i usually use wont touch powdered stuff they said they cant remove it

newlovetattoos:
Give them a bell and see bud. I didnt ask about powder removal when i phoned.

newlovetattoos:
Yeah wildon mentioned that in his last comment.

My frame had paint in the gusset areas and Dave removed this for me before polishing, he puts it in a stripping tank, powder coat is a different matter and I don't think he will be able to remove it.
The other problem with powder coated frames is if it's been bead/sand blasted before it was powdered it's not an ideal surface to start the polishing process for nickel or chrome.
If I had to remove powdercoat I find it easiest to use a plumbers torch and a wire brush but only get it hot enough to remove the powdercoat not to over heat the metal (paint stripper does not touch powder coat) so don't even bother making the mess because last time I tried it, it turned the powder into a sticky chewing gum :LolLolLolLol:.
 Dan's the one to ask, he probably has his own method of removing powder  :daumenhoch: sometimes things are best left to the professionals
