I tried grinding it off and it just melts and clogs up my grinding wheel. Tried jasco stripper and it did not even penetrate the coating. I have several rusty areas so plan on stripping the entire thing.

Trying to do it on the cheap. Acid bath did cross my mind. Mine has a lot of rust.

If it has a plastic coating try using a hot air gun...outside with a fan!
Blast it. Probably best to take it to a powdercoating shop, they can blast it quick and cheap.

Scoring the plastic and using the heat gun is working pretty good. Will post pics in a few.

Try aircraft paint remover. It pretty much strips anything.
