What's the best way of removing powdercoating?
Dan, hope this isn't freaking you out! :LolLolLolLol:
-
While answering this Dan, if I wanted to do a frame thats been powdered, does the old powder have to come off? :daumenhoch:
-
Ratty, get your own thread!!
But that is basically what I want to know.
-
paint stripper but takes forever
and dan has a smallish dip tank to strip the stuff
-
That's cool, cos Dan will be getting the work to do.
Dan, what's the charge for stripping?
Is it a pound in jar or £10 for a private?
-
Media blast :daumenhoch:
-
sand blast it
-
dip then a very light blow over with a not to abrasive media , walnut shell is sposed to work well without damaging metal
-
blimey i feel like a school teacher, ok to answer one question a time.
first jim, chemical strip or sand blast, both around 10 pounds on mates rates ;)
ratty, yes you can powder over powder. the only way to get a good finish is to
coat the frame hot, i done brownies race inc last friday and wasn't happy with
the first coat because the rear end was pitted so recoated it, therefore
powder on powder :) also romblokes, oldsky, my own frame and a few more
members have had two coats :coolsmiley:
back to jim. does it need stripping
-
Dan, got a project I am thinking of taking on and just doing some research first.
It will need stripping of dodgy black powdercoat, before re-powdercoating.
Also, on a different project, the grey for my Diamond Back will be like a shiney primer grey (hint of blue), do you have anything like that? This is a deffo re-powder. When it finally turns up anyway.

Nice one Dan! :daumenhoch:
