'k, thanks.
I'm hoping the powdercoating shop can do it for me...it's a roofrack and is rather huge to do by myself.
Perhaps they should just p/coat over the existing skin...it's white, I'm thinking of making it black.

I'll take it past the 'coaters later this year and see what they recommend. Thanks, N.

I would also go the sandblast route
You could also throw it in a fire and peel the coating off afterwards. Most powder coaters have a chemical bath, so they can clean it for you also.

Um, perhaps I'll give the fire thing a miss. 
Yah, the 'coaters I use have a chemical bath...good for disposing of bodies as well.
