I need some advice. I was contacted to give a bid to wash this Gas station. The owner wants me to first strip off the paint on the underside of the canopy. I was told it is made of aluminum. I have never stripped paint off metal before. I would like to your thoughts:
2500 square feet, take off paint underside only.
1) Best method to use?
2) Turbo nozzle?
3) Can I get it from the ground or need a man lift?
4) Chemicals to use to strip it?
5) Suggestions for outdoor lighting to get (I don't own any yet)
6) How long do you think it will take?
Any other ideas or cautions appreciated.
I have a 5.5 gpm, hot water machine, sureflow pump and tank. Water and electricity will be provided.
I thought already about blocking off the area, covering the tanks, having a ground person. We would wear PPE, have the lights off during the process. Screen for the drains (on site with their own water drainage).
