Powder Coating Preparation

Best Paint Remover for Metal

When it comes to paint stripping for metal surfaces, ordinary stripping solvents and cleaners just won't do. Eastwood's Down to Metal® Stripper is specially designed for use on steel and aluminum, quickly taking off old coatings. The PRE Painting Prep cleaning system that is so popular for painter works great for powder coaters as well. Use it to strip away old oil, grease, wax or polish and leave your surface ready for powder. If a part has small rust spots, our spray-on metal etcher will wipe them out and leave behind a zinc-phosphate coating to protect against further damage.

Metal Repair & Filler Supplies

For larger rust spots, holes, cracks, dents and other imperfections, you may need a quality filler compound. Alvin Lab-metal is a remarkable aluminum-reinforced putty that can be used to permanently repair these surface problems. Use a putty knife to apply it right from the can, then sand it down as needed for a smooth water-resistant finish. This high-temperature metal filler will thwart the heat of both the powder coating process and of vehicle operation.
