    Removal of Cured Powder Paint

    Does anyone know of a solvent that would removed cured power paint. We have a set of cooling coils that are covered. The manufacture recommends new coils. Just making sure there is not something out there that would work without having to do a cut and replace. Thanks, Cervantis
