I've been given a patio set made from cast aluminium (I think).
It's been painted a number of times with hammerite but it's flaking off in places so needs attention and the layer of paint is now so thick, it looks awful.
I figured I strip them back to the metal and then spray them with Hammerite.
Any suggestions on the easiest way to do this?
I was thinking perhaps I could use a blow torch to start with, being careful not to leave it on a spot for too long as I know it can melt the aluminium. Then jetwash to remove the loosened stuff, and finally finish with fine grit emery cloth.
Good plan or trouble ahead?
