Powdercoating

[2002_300_EX]

People have probably asked this question before, but how much trouble is it to get a frame prepped for PCing. And could an amateur mechanic handle it?

It would probably be easiest to take it to a sand blasting shop and have them blast it for you. I have also heard that aircraft stripper works but have not tried it yet:ermm:

go the the local automotive store, buy two cans of aircraft grade paint stripper, spray it down, the paint will bubble off the frame, you have to sand it down a little big cause the paint comes off, but its still attacked. Get a wire bnrush for the tight areas it really isnt difficult but takes about 2 hours for frame and sub frame.

burn off and /or sandblast it right there at shop ...

I'm in no way saying that I am a professional. But if the parts can stand the heat I will burn the paint or old PC off before sand blasting to save on labor time. But most of the time I sand blast the parts before Powder coating them.
