Patience is a virtue

Try using the search feature. I just tried "remove coating" and got several hits that will answer your question.

A couple of bottles of Patron.....you might get some of it up and have a hell of a time doing it!

Grinder will be your best bet.

Shot blasting would be the easiest, make the least amount of mess, and overall do the best job.

Why would you want to remove it if so many here say its great?? Whats wrong with it??

There are a couple of options...

First, a Methylene Chloride based stripper is economical and works pretty well. However, it is environmentally hazardous and must be disposed of as hazardous waste.

We have several very 'pricey' waterbased environmentally benign strippers that work well. These strippers can be hosed right into a drain or even onto vegetation (like grass). The vegetation must be pre-wetted with water prior to hosing them out to avoid shocking it. The downside is the price... You could probably rent a scarifier or shotblaster cheaper.

We can get MC based strippers for you but they are available just about anywhere. The've got to be sent via truck...

I did not like the way it turned out. I want to remove it and try a different look and product.

Can you give me some details or a link for the waterbased strippers?

if it just doesnt look good but is holding up, lightly sand it to give it a profile and recoat. No need to strip it unless it has failed. Please give us more info and maybe some pics.
