For stripping paint use Nitromors paint stripper - great on timber,
glassfibre and metal.

Use gloves, an apron and eye protection - it stings like hell when you get
it on skin.

Use a plastic stripping knife to avoid damaging the anodised layer of the
aluminium.

Does anyone have experience of removing flaking paint
from the skin of a metal trailer? About 1/3 of the
paint is coming off...I want to strip all the paint
off and preferably leave the metal skin 'bare'. Is
this just 'buy a big can of paint remover and a large
brush' or is it more complicated? Not really keen
on a streaky finished product.

Any help much appreciated.
