Paint Remover and powder coat?
I bought a set of corvette calipers and brackets that were powder coated red except on bracket was painted black over the powdercoat. I want to remove the black paint but keep the red powdercoat. Is there a paint stripper or anything that wont harm the powdercoat? Thanks

Honestly.. I have no clue man, but here is what I would do.
Step 1: Google Local Powder Coating Company
Step 2: Ask them this question
Step 3: Receive Bacon
Step 4: ??????????

So here is a couple of things from mild to wild. Believe it or not if you leave goof off on long enough it will soften the paint and you can wipe it away. you can also go to a local auto paint store and get a medium reducer this will also work and should not hurt the powder coat. Air plane stripper will definetly take it off but may hurt the powder coat. In general unless you leave it on for a long time its not going to hurt. make sure to neutralize what ever you use with lots of water.

if you know any one with a hot water power washer turn it all the way up as hot as it will go and wash the paint off I do it with cars when I restore them its the quickest way to take all of the paint off I use a old steam jenny just watch if you stay in one spot to long it may cut into the powder coat and if people say it wont work I do it all the time it will take paint off a car in a 3" wide strip but it wont take factory paint off but I do alot of older stuff thats been paint 2 or 3 times so it works well for me and clean up is easy and the car is clean when your done ...I think it would work also easy off oven cleaner will remove the spray paint and not hurt factory paint but I dont know if that will hurt the powder coat you could do a small test spot just dont let it sit to long befor you wash it off
