How do you remove powder coating?

2. What kind of wheels are they?
3. Do you know if they were previously polished before they were powder coated?

How easy the removal is will depend greatly on how well the piece was coated. If the prep was good and the powder cured correctly it won't be fun...lol! When I have to remove old powder coating I use aircraft stripper first and then media blast the rest....it can be a long process though. Just be carefull how agressive you get with the media blasting....that can make your polishing afterward a lot harder also. After you use the stripper, try blasting with aluminum oxide...that always seems to work best for me.

stripper.ive done it a million times on wheels and bicycle frames.
spray it on, hose it off, maybe a brush for the harder spots. the only thing it going to be the condition of the wheels underneath. all my wheels where polished to begin with, so when I stripped them, I just repolished them.

I thought most powdercoaters media blasted before powdercoating? Wouldnt that kill any sort of finish on the wheel? I just dropped off some items a couple days ago and he said they would all be media blasted prior to powdercoating.

They typically do blast it to create a profile before powder coating it. They typically do blast it to create a profile before powder coating it. You could blast it with aluminum oxide and remove the pwoder probably or consider a chemical stripper
