I just _finally_ remembered to try the Permatex gasket remover on the powder
coating on the spindles bearing surfaces...
Success, it worked almost
instantly and with just a wipe the surface was clean. Ditto what Bill said
below.
Better living through chemistry as they say!

I just
tried that (Permatex Gasket Remover) the other day on a powder coated piece.
Didn't work at all.
But... I can testify that does work GREAT on painted
items as your article said. Works better than any currently available paint
remover I've found. I miss the "good old days" when they sold stuff that
peeled off paint easily in layers. Of course, the fumes would eventually kill
you, too... but we didn't know that and ignorance was bliss.

Found this on
the web, will give it a try, I have used it on gaskets and works
well, see how
it does on Powder coatings.

The easiest and cheapest
way to remove
paint and powder coating is with gasket remover. The product we
use in our
shop is Permatex Gasket Remover (item #80646). It comes in a 12
ounce aerosol
can which is more than enough to do even large projects like
engine cases. It
is available from most auto parts stores. Other products,
such as Zip Strip.
paint remover, may also work, but the Permatex product is
what we have had the
most success with.
Simply spray on a liberal coating to
the part you are
trying to strip, and wait 10-15 minutes. Be sure not to get
any on areas that
you do not want stripped. Make sure to wear eye and skin
protection as it can
irritate both.After 10-15 minutes, the powder coating
will bubble and peel.
Wipe off the gasket remover and loosened powder coating
with a
disposable
rag. You may need to reapply as some areas will be missed
the first time.
That's it! Your part should be stripped down to the bare
metal. Make sure to
wash with wax and grease remover before you try to
repaint.
