Paint Stripping

Paint Stripping

Paint stripping is an essential step in restoring and preparing metal parts for a new, high-quality finish. At Rainbow Powder Coating, we specialize in Chemical Immersion Cleaning, a controlled and effective method to strip away:

• Old powder-coated paint

• Conventional paints and primers

• Grease, oil, and underseal

• Fillers and adhesives

• Anti-flutter compounds

Why Chemical Immersion?

Traditional blasting methods can cause irreversible surface damage, especially on delicate or intricate parts. They also fail to clean areas hidden within seams, joints, or box sections, leaving behind media and debris that compromise the final paint finish.

In contrast, chemical immersion paint stripping offers:

• Gentle yet thorough cleaning removing coatings without damaging the substrate

• Complete coverage which reaches inaccessible areas that blasting cannot

• Improved adhesion ensures a clean, contaminant-free surface for pretreatment and coating

• Reduced risk by eliminating problems like moisture entrapment, poor finish, and premature coating failure

Process & Turnaround

Chemical strippers work quickly, typically between 10 minutes to a few hours, depending on the material, paint type, and coating thickness. After stripping, parts are:

1. Neutralized ensuring no residual chemicals remain

2. Cleaned and sanded to prepare a smooth surface

3. Ready for pretreatment and coating ensuring long-lasting performance
