ok i want to strip paint off of aluminum. it is painted t-red right now. but i changed my mind and want it back to aluminum. what can i use other than sanding? hoping i can just leave it in a bucket full of the stuff
Go buy a dedicated paint stripper. Brush on, wait for the paint to bubble, then scrape off. It will be the easiest method. You should be able to find some at any hardware store or automotive supply.
