I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

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.
