I just tried that (Permatex Gasket Remover) the other day on a powder coated
piece. Didn't work at all.
But... I can testify that does work GREAT on painted items as your article
said. Works better than any currently available paint remover I've found. I
miss the "good old days" when they sold stuff that peeled off paint easily in
layers. Of course, the fumes would eventually kill you, too... but we didn't
know that and ignorance was bliss.

Found this on the web, will give it a try, I have used it on gaskets and
works
well, see how it does on Powder coatings.

The easiest and cheapest
way to remove paint and powder coating is with gasket remover. The product we
use in our shop is Permatex Gasket Remover (item #80646). It comes in a 12
ounce aerosol can which is more than enough to do even large projects like
engine cases. It is available from most auto parts stores. Other products,
such as Zip Strip. paint remover, may also work, but the Permatex product is
what we have had the most success with.
Simply spray on a liberal coating to
the part you are trying to strip, and wait 10-15 minutes. Be sure not to get
any on areas that you do not want stripped. Make sure to wear eye and skin
protection as it can irritate both.After 10-15 minutes, the powder coating
will bubble and peel. Wipe off the gasket remover and loosened powder coating
with a disposable rag. You may need to reapply as some areas will be missed
the first time.
That's it! Your part should be stripped down to the bare
metal. Make sure to wash with wax and grease remover before you try to
repaint.
