[Roadsters] Removing powder coat?

[Fred Katz]

Eastwood sells a "Powder Coat and Paint Dissolver". It's expensive,  
$21 a quart, or $73 a gallon. But it's re-usable and environment-safe.  
Supposedly you immerse the item, or run the chemical over the item for  
a few minutes, then rinse with cold water. It says safe for aluminum.  
I haven't tried it yet, just reading from their catalog description. www.eastwood.com 
   - item #12849
