Hi Folks,
I have a good question here...If you take a look at the pics of the outside of our little Aloha, you can see there are a few issues.
#1) It is a blue grey
#2) Rosie is covered in house paint.
It is a light coat, meaning it is not super thick and in 10 coats. We'd like to take her back to her original glory, the original aluminum. I'm not sure how bad she will look if we get this house paint off of her, or how we are going to do it.
We did try paint stripper, although it was starting to scratch the aluminum and one little 4x4 area took about 2 hours. THere has got to be a better way of doing this!
If we can't get the paint off, besides for spending $3,000.00 - $5,000.00 for a new paint job, does anyone have any good suggestions how we can work on her and what would be a good paint to use to doll her up again if the aluminum is horrible?
Thanks so much!
