| Subject: | getting sharpie off Kolb factory powder coat |
My kit that I am finishing has some sharpie marks from the previous owner on the
powder coat from the factory. I use fine sharpies myself so I'm not critical
of him. Since MEK is hard to get now (Home Depot now sells an MEK Substitute),
I've tried the substitute but it smears the colored sharpie all over the powder
coat but not removing it. I now have clouds of blue and red. The substitute
does take it off bare aluminum but the powder coat is another story.
Has anyone found something that takes it off of the powdercoat without removing
the powdercoat?
Thanks,
Jay

Any chance that the MEK actually attacked the powdercoat & spread the
ink into it? Alcohol will remove sharpie if it's relatively new, and
acetone and lacquer thinner (which is basically diluted acetone) will do
a good job on it when it's a decade or more old; at least on aluminum
(don't ask how I know).

McMaster carr will sell a quart of 99.5% MEK for $20
No idea about sharpie on powder coat exactly, but I know the MEK is easy enough
to get!

Hi Charlie and Franklin,
Thanks for the info. I'll try lacquer thinner or acetone on the powdercoat. The
sharpie marks are probably 4-6 years old. Perhaps the MEK substitute melts it
into the powdercoat. Hopefully I can get it off, if not I don't want to have
to paint the whole boom tube from front to back so it might just be what it is.
