    does anyone have any quick method to remove the plastikote? have tried chisel and rotary wire brush but both are slow going.

    paint stripper i have tried in past.as it is plastic probaably is resistant to acid. if the roary wire brush cannot strip it of it melts to the steel.

    Do a Burt Monroe and throw it into a grass fire. :lolsign:
    Seriously, I would use a heat gun to soften it then scrape off with a putty knife. You could take to a sandblaster.
