[Roadsters] removing powder coating

when i was at the powder coating shop here, i was considering getting my 
wheels coated and asked the question about removing.   he said they use 
the kleen-strip aircraft remover.   this is entirely hearsay, i have not 
done it.

There are other strippers that are similar to aircraft stripper.  i use 
a 'heavy duty' stripper from local ace hardware because it is convenient 
to buy and it seems to work really well.  i don't pick the least 
expensive product though.  i have used the 'aircraft remover' often and 
it too works well.  i have not tested the 'compliant' version of 
aircraft remover, just the original.

even with paint the way the stuff works is highly variable.  some of the 
best paints strip the easiest,  while old lacquer primer just turns to 
snot like goo.  i have a feeling the powder coat will bubble up nicely.  
just guessing.
