Doing this steel structure next week. Its peeling and bubbling in a lot of spots. Some areas of white rust showing through.
With the fiberglass roof and other misc site conditions, sandblasting is outta the budget.
My plan is/was a combination of scraping, sanding, and pressure washing.
However, once I realized how brittle the paint chips are, I figured its oil based paint and should probably all be removed down to the galvanizing.
Anyone have any tricks? I figure the 4500psi hotwasher with a turbo tip should get a lot of it. Wondering if glass scrapers might get what's left...
