[Roadsters] Powder coat removal

Powder coating is when the metal is "charged" and a paint in powder form 
is blown onto the metal.  The electrostatic charge makes the powder 
stick to the metal. 

Then, the object is put in an oven and baked, where the paint powder 
then melts and coats the object.

I'm not sure paint remover will take it off.  The stuff is pretty darn 
durable, and one of the best ways to insure something won't rust and 
will look good for a long time.

Give it a try, but don't be surprised if it doesn't come off, or 
requires a TON of elbow grease....
