I have a large number of control panels that I need to prepare for powder coating.

To that end, I am stripping off the remnants of the CPO adhesives, etc. using a wire attachment on an angle grinder.

This works extremely well! But before I proceed, I want to make sure that it is safe to remove the black and gray surfaces on many of these panels while just wearing an N95.

Is it just a thin coating of paint or is it something else? Atari's are usually black. Lots of others are gray. I think some might be galvanized, but not sure.

Also, does ALL of that surface need to come off before the powder coating can adhere?

Some examples:
