How to Remove Paint From Aluminum
- 1). Purchase paint strippers that come in gel form. Make sure that the strippers are non-caustic, compatible with aluminum and, specifically, paint strippers. Apply the paint stripper to the paint brushes and sweep the brush over the affected area. Aircraft Paint Stripper works very well.
- 2). Purchase Peel Away 6 or Peel Away 7 and apply the paste to the affected areas if the paint strippers did not complete the job. Cover the area with a cloth in order for the paste to absorb more thoroughly.
- 3). Purchase a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Soak the pad in water and scrub the affected area.
- 4). Spray Permatex Gasket remover on the affected area.
- 5). Visit a service center that has a Soda Blasting or Bead Blasting machine to remove any left over paint from aluminum.
