Hello, I just traded for a yoyo from a friend of mine, but the powder coating is pretty chipped and such. I think that it would probably look better just raw/polished. I REALLY like the powder coated finish, but like eI said, this one is pretty damaged.
So I’m wondering how to strip the powder-coating off. Any thoughts?

@yoyospirit is who to talk to about this I’d think.

Yeah, I remember that he is the resident power coat expert. His work is awesome. I’m hoping he can actually powder coat another one of the yoyos I have.
