- Aircraft Remover (get the jug instead of the spray can)
- Disposable Foil Pan (relevant to the size you need)
- Paper towels, rags, and or a plastic scraper
- Nylon Scrub Brush (to get into small areas)
- Rubber Gloves (heavier duty the better)
- Respirator (not needed but won't hurt)
Notes
You will need to do this in a well ventilated garage or outside.
Buy the above specifically for the job as I would discard it all (besides any leftover Aircraft Remover) after you're finished.
Do not get any on your skin. It will burn pretty bad namely because its eating it.
Try to work as quickly as possible as it will start dissolving your gloves.
Procedure
1. Put on your respirator and gloves.
2. Place powder coated part in bottom of foil pan.
3. Pour Aircraft Remover evenly over part. Don't be afraid to use a lot. You can help spread it over said part with fingers.
4. Let it sit until the powder coat starts gelling and lifting away. You can test it by rubbing an area with your finger or paper towel. You can also cover the foil pan with a piece of cardboard if it is deep enough.
5. If its starting to come off then start wiping off what you can with your paper towels, rags, and or scraper. Get in the corners with your brush.
6. You generally won't get all of the powder coating off the first try. You will need to give the stubborn areas a few applications.
7. Wash the part off. I used soap and water but I heard mineral spirits work as well.
8. Clean up your mess and dispose of the used Aircraft Remover in an environmentally safe manner.
