Does anyone have experience of removing flaking paint

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.

Since it's poorly adhered, perhaps renting a good pressure washer would
take off most of it. I haven't tried this on an aluminum trailer. Paint
stripper could be used for the rest of it.

I second this. The local "U-Squirt It" car wash can remove a lot of loose
paint.

Bob and Craig's points about painting it white with a good paint system are
also a very good ideas.
