Aluminum pool paint  

+++

I have an aluminum pool that was painted. The paint is peeling and I need to strip and repaint. Does anyone know the best products to use?

Hi, Barbara. An excellent stripper for most paints on aluminum is aircraft stripper [link is to product info at Amazon], but this is methylene chloride based. This is a really noxious chemical to be used only outside with excellent ventilation, and while wearing a minimum of goggles [link is to product info at Amazon] and protective gloves [link is to product info at Amazon] Start the new painting with Aluminum Primer [link is to product info at Amazon]
