Removing the paint was a pain...
I first sanded it down so that the nitromors can seep into the paint better.
Applying the nitromors.
Then I scraped the paint of using a relatively blunt razor blade.
A tip: sand paper won't do anything to remove the treated(nitromorsed?) powder coat because it had a rubber/silicon like texture so use a paint scraper or similar. Also, I heard that gasket remover is a lot more effective but haven't tried it myself.
Once I scraped off most of the paint I rinsed it to remove any nitromors residue and left it to dry so the leftover paint can be sanded later on
