In the past I've used standard nitromors (from B&Q) which has worked out. but removing powercoat is slow & tedious. can anyone recommend, ideally with links to more potent paint strippers please?
thanks 🙂

Not all powder coat is the same. Thermoplastic vs thermoset.

Personaly paint stripping is just a pain in the butt
Theres always a couple of stuborn bits the rinsing hoping youve got chemical washed off
Me personaly just get it sandblasted.
Macavity, I think he might struggle to get hold of MEK. I'm guessing if it is on a bike it will be thermoset - at least I hope it would be.
If you are going to re-coat it then the powder coaters might have the best options. They'll have access to chemicals and setups that you can't safely match at home.
methylene chloride?

Dont sandblast but 'media' blasted - soda or vapour blasting
