[VAC] Re: external/internal paint removal



I used the term 'zolotone' in error - the Trailwind has the standard factory
'tender green' finish. As i've examined the trailer, though, there appear to
be a couple of types of paint used at the factory... basically, though, the
bare aluminum has a flat grey primer, with the 'tender green' color coat...
but there are a couple of large panels with no primer, but what looks like
that 'hammered finish' paint, on bare aluminum. The Bix cuts through all of
it.
I don't remember if bix is one of the eco-friendly citrus based strippers...
the orange color might be an attempt to simulate the citrus-based thing...
