Thread: Removal of Cerkote

At the temperatures it's cured at it can't be fused enamel but rather a highly crosslinked epoxy urethane or silicone. The name i suspect comes from the use of ceramic pigments in the mix which give strength, abrasion and chemical resistance far in excess of what you would normally expect from a paint.
I would be very suprised if a methylene chloride based paint stripper wouldn't soften it or perhaps remove it entirely it would certainly make it easy to scrape or blast off.
Blasting alone would be a long process more so if you didn't want the original surface stipple and used bicarbonate or other non aggressive media to do the removal.
