Have you thought about Soda Blasting? I've had the paint blasted off some plastic grill parts and it looks great. I've seen it strip the ink off a coke can and the can was fine. I'll post some photos when I get home later to show you the results. I'll also find the name of the bloke that did it for me.

cheers , yes I was considering soda blasting there's a guy in carrum downs does it..

But I ended up going to paint mobile in dandy , he recomended some industrial paint stripper and it worked a treat..

I guess the stripper I was using just wasn't toxic enough to strip powdercoat :)

There's paint stripper and there's paint stripper. The former being a clear, glue looking stuff that seems to just fade paint after half an hour. The latter closely resembling lava in both appearance and touch that seems to make shit bubble and peel after 5 minutes. Thick gloves = necessity lol.

yeah thats the stuff, thick brown goo the can sizzles when u shake it..

I tried 3m spray stripper. 20$ for 2 cans did nothing

some green stuff from bunnings 40$ a litre was a little better but still no good.

25$ for half a litre of the good stuff from paint supplies store, i used half a tin and job done.

Yeah, you paint the stuff on with a paintbrush :)

You had any splash on your skin? Instant BURN.

The one the smells like ammonia?

We used to put a drop on our palms and see who could hold it out the longest...

but i've always thought they wouldn't work on powdercoating because its like baked on plastic.

No, the one that you smell and it burns your nose just because of the fumes lol. There's no way you could put this one on your palm and see who can hold it there the longest - it starts burning instantly and leaves something of a nasty chemical burn after 5-10 seconds.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
