[QUOTE="Steph Boeker, post: 502171, member: 32953"] I tried strippers, paint eater wheels, stainless steel brush wheels, etc ... etc ... etc ... I found most to be too slow but the paint eaters, although faster, still made a narrow path and was too harsh on the aluminum for me. I found a palm sander w/ 80g to be the best on flat surfaces and SS brush wheels around the riveted seams. But you will geaux through 15 or so sheets 1/4'rd so you will change paper about 60 x's. One guy said , "if the paint is that hard to get off, it's prolly a good base to prime" so you would save time by not having to strip it bare !! Good luck and upload photos. [/QUOTE]
