I have, and it works. You want 'rattle-can' ease of removal with finishes like epoxy or catalyzed urethane, it's good stuff. No experience (yet) with powdercoats.

Be prepared to do a bit of finger-walking to source it, pay HAZMAT shipping if you can't wait for Ground, and use recommended PPE when you have the stuff out of the can. Methylene Chloride may be history but there's still stuff for sale that can and will do you some serious hurting if you let your guard down.

More stuff: Various retailers like AdvanceAuto, and some water based stuff that uses Hydrogen Peroxide that's not cheap.
