[VAL] Stripper for aluminum paint

["Arlen & Shirley" <globetrotter64@xxxxxxx>]

John,

I had a trailer I was considering stripping so I contacted Napier, the maker
of the removal product, that everyone has such high recommendation for.  I
ended up not doing the project so I did not buy any of the stripper but I
thought the info they passed on might be helpful.

Napier makes many types of paint strippers.  Some are good to use on
Aluminum and some are for wood etc.  They did not recommend using their
aerosol product on an Airstream.

Here are the products they recommended for stripping clear coat or paint off
an Airstream (or any aluminum).

Removal All 220 - Brush  grade good for an Airstream
Removal All 210 - Airless spray grade  (ICI paints labels this Hydrostrip
502)
Removal All SV35PMA - Airless spray grade approved for use on aluminum
aircraft   - Fine for Airstreams too.

Note: Spray grade takes an airless sprayer to apply.

The following places can order the 220 or the 210 BUT they may not know what
it is (I called several stores and they were clueless.  I called Napier back
and they suggested to have the store call them directly because they CAN
ordered it!)
It runs about $35-$50 a gal.

Any ICI Paint store
Any Sherwin Williams paint store
SV35PMA can be ordered direct from Napier or from Aircraftspruce.com
