• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm in the process of wrapping up the Eagles upper wing and I'm starting to think about the next step in the build. My fuselage is a factory fuse, but it's 30 years old and the paint just doesn't look all that great any more. Plus, I know I've got some welding to do in the landing gear attach area. So, I want to strip and re powder coat the fuselage, probably in white.

The first step in this process will be stripping the original powder coat. I'm sure that some of you have done this before. What is the best way to do this? Everything that I've read so far says that media blasting doesn't work well on powder coat.
