Good project, Missourian. Are you rebuilding it to carry the boat in the background?
Yes...it needs some TLC and a coat of paint too.
I have some spray Aircraft Remover...going to see if it will take the old paint off the boat this afternoon.
That might do it, but a good 4.5 inch angle grinder is a good tool. Fit it with a good wire brush and it will take the paint and rust down to the metal or at least knock off the big chunks depending how long you want to spend on it.
As you know, "prep" takes a lot longer than painting or welding.
Ain't that the truth.
But, if you have an all metal project with absolutely no rubber or plastic whatsoever, the brush on Aircraft Remover is amazing.
I'm trying the spray today, but if it doesn't work, I'll get some brush on and take some before and after pictures...the paint shrivels up and falls off. Saves hours of prep time.
I'm revved up to get back too it now...thanks for the info and advice.
