[QUOTE="CLM, post: 327671, member: 8708"] I used aircraft stripper. Flipped the boat over onto some old tires, brushed the stripper on, then covered it with plastic wrap to allow it more work time before it dries. Did some scrapping and wire brushing, then pressure washed it off. Went over the stubborn spots a second time. Had all of the paint stripped off of a 16' boat in less than two hours with 3 quarts of aircraft stripper. Followed this up by scrubbing the boat with stainless steel sos pads and baking soda to neutralize the stripper. Dried it, sprayed the boat with alumiprep, then scrubbed it two more times with sos and baking powder to neutralize the alumiprep. Keep your sos pads running in the same direction and you create the brushed aluminum look. I have a total of about 5 hours in taking this from painted to a etched bare aluminum finish.
