[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 108875, member: 863"] The paint stripper still hasn't worked that great, even after a couple applications, so I decided to go with a wire wheel. I first tried one on my drill (not a cordless), a 3" wire wheel, and I felt like I was stripping a battleship with a Dremel. Not to mention the difficulty of trying to control the drill while dealing with the torque of it. I went back out and got a 5" wire wheel for my grinder, and it has done much much better- it's easier to control and it is making faster work of the paint. I hope to finish removing the paint this weekend. I know that I'll have to sand it again before I use primer because of the oxidation, no worries. I'll post a pic by Saturday at the latest. [/QUOTE]
