Does powdercoating wear off with paint thinner?

paint thinner won't work on powder coating... only tihng that works is sand blast like somebody already said, but the thing is. if the powdercoating was done well sand blasting won't take it all off. powder coating is a serious business ppl. you are pretty much stuck with it for LIFE

wasnt sure if the airplane thinner would work better. I know that the factory valve cover coating wont come off with paint thinner but comes off with the airplane thinner....might be worth a try on powder coating....have to remember that airplane paint sees rediculous speeds, temps, and conditions....

good luck.
