the Rhino lining requires a roughed up surface to adhear to so a grinder will do just fine......been there done that and it works very well, sticks like glue

I've used a rosebud tip on an Acetylene torch to warm 10" areas of the powder coat and then followed immediately with a sandblaster, made short work of stripping the powder coating. I used the Black Sand / slag for media and it worked great.
