Read my post again. I (ME) removed powder coating using chemicals and HAND HELD tools. Scraping etc, no blasting.
A powder shop will use the chemicals in conjunction with blasting. Which is still a somewhat time consuming and VERY messy job.
Have you every tried to remove powder coat with a media blaster? I have. Without chemicals you will be fighting a never ending battle.
