[QUOTE="Fishinday&night, post: 326995, member: 12564"] I just started my 14' Mirrocraft project and would like to know what the best way to remove the paint from the hull. I started using my cordless drill and a heavy duty wire wheel which works well but is very time consuming not to mention the battery doesn't last very long. I've read about people using stripper and sanding. I don't mind busting my butt on this project because that's part of what makes it enjoyable and rewarding. Also, if I sand it and rough up the existing paint well enough do I really need to go to bare aluminum? Wouldn't primer work as long as the surface is roughed up? I will post a picture of my progress later. [/QUOTE]
