Can you take a Dead Blow hammer to a Powder Coated CP?
Answer: Yes. I just did it to my Punchout CP. It was such a gooey mess when I sent it to the sandblaster/PC that I didn't notice the dent in the front and the massive concave bow in the middle. Those flaws were powder-coated over and now amplified by the new finish. I flipped the cp over on my carpeted basement floor and began hitting the back of the cp with short sharp blows, checking the top every 2 hits or so. After 20-30 blows, the CP is nearly perfect again, with no marring or cracking of the powder coat finish. Success. Thought I'd share in case you encounter a similar dilemma.
