[QUOTE="jadedgem, post: 472897, member: 15633"] I'm no expert working with metals but I have done quiet a few paint stripping jobs on alluminum and never found corrosion even on units over 40 years old. What has happened is after the first coat of stripper there is still paint and primer then after the third time with paint stripper its just the bare alluminum sitting there. If there is primer still on the metal before you started sanding then the stripper did not lift everything. I have posted 3 tutorials on here working with alluminum and mine always comes out clear. Then I just sand lightly and then polish with toothpaste or brasso.. Are you going to aply a clear coat on top of that metallic alti? [/QUOTE]
