Used shock absorber sprayed with undercoating
I have a used set of shock absorbers that have some undercoating on them. What do you use to loosen this undercoating to remove?

Depending on how much perhaps a wire wheel.. I have used a wire brush & propane torch to remove under coat from the bottom of the body before …

Lacquer thinner or acetone.
If you are trying to get the undercoating off WITHOUT damaging the underlying paint, them make sure the paint isn't lacquer based. Test on a small inconspicuous area. "Goof Off" is another option, but will require more effort.

Perhaps a wire wheel, but it depends on the budget. Try it out in a hidden spot.

Copious amounts of Goof Off is pretty gentle, but time consuming. It won't touch the paint if that is your goal.
