I've come across an early 80's acrolite snare that has the grey powder coating finish. Some of the powder coating is starting to wear off of the shell. Has anyone had any experience with removing powder coating without damaging the shell underneath? I'm toying with the idea of polishing the aluminum shell to a high luster after the powdercoat is removed and then clearcoating the shell to maintain the polished finish.
Suggestions, ideas, comments??
