Stripping March Pulley setup?

What is the best way to strip/remove the clear powdercoat off of March aluminum brackets and pulleys? I have the serepentine conversion setup on my car and really want to strip it and have it all powdercoated gloss black. Would bead blasting be an effective way? I have a blasting cabinet so that would be easiest for me. But, would it damage the aluminum parts at all?

Glass beading does'nt damage aluminum, I would ask their tech help if they have one just to be sure.

Re: Stripping March Pulley setup?

Still not sure how to proceed on this. Either way I got this response from March themselves...

"John,
I would not recommend bead or sand blasting. You would need to use a paint stripper, however I would check with whomever you are going to have powdercoat them. I believe they should be able to powdercoat right over the top of the clear.
Thanks MP"
