Hi all, Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how to get about 5 coats of paint of light surrounds without scratching or corroding them. Was considering paint stripper and scourer but worried this will scratch them.

Cheers SUPALJ

soak them in thinners over night this will soften the paint

then blast the paint of with hi press water blaster

then lighty polish them with them pink soap steel wool pads to remove any stubborn paint

be careful not to rub through the anodising

cheers
