Chemical Stripping

Advanced Paint & Powder Coating Removal for Perfect Metal Restoration

# About Our Chemical Stripping Service

Before applying a fresh, flawless new finish, the old layers must completely come off. Our Chemical Stripping service is the ultimate process in which objects such as wheels, bike frames, or other metal-based objects are thoroughly stripped of existing finishes, including:

  • Old Paint & Lacquer

  • Stubborn Powder Coating

  • Body Fillers & Primers

  • Industrial Residues

Unlike harsh methods that can warp or erode delicate details, this specialized chemical process is carefully designed to strip away all coatings and residual chemicals, leaving absolutely only bare aluminum or steel at the end of the process.

# Why Choose Chemical Stripping Over Media Blasting?

While media/sandblasting is great for rust, Chemical Stripping is often a far more suitable alternative to media blasting for tough-to-remove coatings.

  • Safe for Delicate Parts: It doesn’t etch, pit, or wear down thin metals, threads, or intricate machined details (perfect for aluminum alloy wheels).

  • 100% Surface Coverage: The chemical liquid reaches inside hollow tubes, tight crevices, and hidden corners where blasting media simply cannot penetrate.

  • Flawless Base Prep: Leaves behind a perfectly smooth, unblemished raw metal surface, which is ideal for a new coat of Powder Coating or Cerakote.

# Applications (What We Strip)

We can strip virtually any metal component back to its original raw form:

  • Automotive: Alloy wheels/rims, car panels, engine parts, manifolds.

  • Bicycles & Motorcycles: Steel or aluminum bike frames, swingarms, fuel tanks.

  • Architectural & Household: Metal gates, patio furniture, railings, antique hardware.

# Preparation Comparison: Media Blasting vs. Chemical

 Stripping

Feature Media/Sand Blasting Chemical Stripping
Best For Removing Rust, heavy corrosion, scale Tough powder coating, multi-layered paint, fillers
Metal Safety Can slightly etch or pit softer metals 100% safe; preserves original metal thickness & texture
Crevice Penetration Limited to line-of-sight Full penetration inside tubes and tight crevices
Final Result Textured/matte finish (great for grip) Ultra-smooth, pristine bare aluminum or steel
