Stripping black finish off of 2017 engine case and cylinders

[Greaseball_imp]

Thanks for all of your help so far guys!

I'm not shook up about pulling the engine off of the bike. I'm thinking that will be the best way to go in order to get the results that I'm looking for in the finished product. But once it's out, what will the next steps be.

Looks like chemically stripping the engine will be very labor intensive. And even IF I could get all of the black paint off of the intricate areas then I'd still be left with raw aluminum that would have to get protected to stave off corrosion.

Maybe my best bet is to take the engine out of the bike and then take the bike to a powdercoater. They can bead blast the engine AFTER it gets sealed up. After bead blasting, the engine could get a heat resistant clear coat. I've never had something powder coated but something tells me that my thought process could be workable.

Has anyone else here had parts clear powder coated with a heat resistant finish?
