Thank you all for some very technical and useful information that I need to digest a bit.

I think one of the problems that the vehicle had during it's construction is that unlike other aluminum fabrications that I have been involved with, there was no scuffing process of any kind prior to paint from what we can see.

I have been around flat sheeting machines in sheet metal shops and random orbital sanders. The material I am working with is silky smooth, so I think I am going to first get a plain old pressure washer and see how much more some water can remove before I do anything else and maybe I will have a lot less work to do.

I did buy a gallon of aircraft paint remover at an advantageous price but I am going to hold off a bit yet.

more later
