I took some items into the powder coater and he got carried away and coated more than I wanted on one item. Any suggestions on how to remove this stuff?

Thanks

aircraft stripper works great. you purchase the product at any automotive paint store.

You didn't indicate if what you want to remove is in a pocket, a threaded hole, or a comparatively flat surface, but you can remove it mechanically with whatever you would normally remove paint with. Sanding disc, scuff disc, tap, whatever. It's tough stuff, but you can still cut it with the proper grit for the end result desired.

a product called zip strip works pretty good. just allow it acouple mins to soak in alittle and comes right off.
