I haven't tried that before but I use aircraft stripper. You can buy it in a spray can or a full gallon and brush it on, and it will take powder coating off. Let it sit on for a bit scrub with a wire brush and power wash it off, that is what I have done and it has worked.

Depending on what part you want to remove it from you can take a torch and move it back and forth and the powder will begin to flake and when you hit it with bead blaster it comes off like nothing.

Give the torch method a try. When the powder get hot enough it converts back to powder and the sand blaster should knock it right off.
