I powder coat small parts in-house. There is nothing in a hardware store in the US that will take the powder I use off a part. Those few times when I wasn't happy with the results, I tried many strippers and finally had to burn the coating off.As I mentioned, most hardware store paint stripper takes it right off. I do it all the time. Will be doing it later today in fact.
I quit powder coating the cradles as they are at the limit of what will fit in my oven and require too much masking. When I did powder coat them, I masked the swingarm sweep area and the area where the rear iso caps fit. Once coated, I used leather punches to cut the coating around the mounting bolts, and then an exacto knife to remove the coating - held at the right angle it will take the coating of easily.
