painting

[brinkley]

whats the best way to remove flaking paint i have tried scraping and rubbing and have quite a bit removed ,i could use paint stripper but its in an entrance tunnel to a car park of a hotel and the wind picks up quite a lot so dont fancy risking acid flying on peoples cars any suggestions (do we do painting questions?)

is it possible to use a nail gun or a scabbler

[mikethetile]

there are sheets of paint stripper, you apply the stripper and cover it in the sheets for 24 hrs ,then remove the sheets and paint in one go

alternatively use sanding discs in a grinder, if your repainting your better off with discs as you can remove the loose and feather the edges

[brinkley]

looks like il be using the sanding discs then .is there any sealer i can put on before painting i will use stab solution on the powdery bits and once painted im using watco anti grafitti coating

[mikethetile]

you can use a stabilising solution if its powdery otherwise no just paint

watco make good coatings
