[QUOTE="OutrageGIS, post: 370769, member: 13812"] I know you said no chemicals, but have you looked into the citrus based strippers? The orange one they sell at walmart worked great for me. Put it on thick, cover with a plastic sheet to prevent evaporation and allow the stripper to work. If the temps are high enough (70's or higher), a couple of hours and the paint will easily scrape off, use a green scotchbrite pad and gloves for tough areas. Rinse well and you should have clean bare aluminum. I'm not a fan of chems either but for stripping paint it really cuts the elbow grease required. And be sure to rinse with a vinegar solution and/or use a etch primer for bare aluminum. Nice project and Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
