Watch you don't overheat your pressure washer as you do have to do it methodically at close range to peel the paint off. As I recall 80% came off the first time, and then I covered the stubborn areas a second time to get this. I bought a gallon of the stripper, and had a third of the pail left over. I think this will save you a lot of labor compared to grinding, brushing, or sanding the whole thing.After this I just ran my orbital sander over it, rinsed, wiped down with an automotive aluminum cleaner, rinsed, then rolled and tipped the body & spray bombed the railing with Tremclad paint that didn't need special Aluminum prep... I now use the spray bomb to cover up any damage I do, but it held up quite well over the summer. There's more pictures in the link below.</blockquote>
