Is it difficult or more labor extensive to sand-blast off powder coated painted items? If sand-blasting is not the best method, then what is the best way?

Powder-coating is very difficult to remove from flat metal panels because sand-blasting heats the metal and will/could warp it.
Other metal objects such as vehicle frames, car wheels, poles, framing etc, etc all can be sand-blasted a little more aggressively, but it still can be difficult...
I'm not sure what the object/part is needing attention, but you can sand prime/paint over powder-coating...

It is flat metal panels that needs to have the powder coating removed. Good to know you can sand prime/paint over powder coating.

Thanks for the info.

Maybe call a powder coater... they may have something they use or could tell you what is best to use.
Got to be something to get it off in case they make a mistake on a job.

      I had a batch of parts that got powdercoated white, rather than silver.
      Sent 'em back and they powdercoated right over them.  darn

One of the sand-blasters I use has some "methal-ethyl bad sh#$%", and I mean BAD ! ! !  That can strip powder-coating off some materials... Ex. some time ago, I was stripping stoner shelves and for some reason, I had color coded zip-ties on the tie wire for a couple of sets/groups of shelves. Less than 5 min, the zip-ties were gone! Between 5 - 10 min later it was time to remove the shelves; they were clean!

To add to Glenn's statement, all you need to do is sand/scuff the powder-coating and spray the part(s) again with the same/different color.  Be for warned, if a part has close tolerances, you may want to consider sanding those areas extra to keep the thickness to a minimum for the second coat...

Chedki - In your case, they can be sanded w/ 220 on a D/A Orbital sander and sent back for another coating with the new color!

My local powder coater puts previously powder coated items in an oven and burns off the old coat.

Try dipping , I had my doors and shell , bottle door and coin door dipped to take off all the paint for 80.00 bucks witch was well worth it.
