I have been reading the board for awhile and there is so much great information here. I just recently came across a Bantam T3 trailer in decent condition. My plans are to make this into an AT trailer with a lid and eventually an RTT. Right now I have all the lights, reflectors and fenders off to get the paint off. Someone brushed on a camo style paint that is flakey and chipping. My dilemma is that I am having difficulty getting the paint off. i have access to a compressor and have used an angle grinder with wire brush and an orbital sander with 80 grit paper. The sander really melts the paint off when at high speed but when I apply it for more than a few seconds it slows down and really doesn't do the job. Its not holding the rpms like I need it to. Besides sandblasting what methods and/or tools have others used to get the paint off? I would like to avoid using chemicals being my kids like to hang around and watch.
Here's what it looked like when I got it home;
