    Best way to strip paint

    I'm repainting my trailer and having trouble getting down to bare metal. So far I've used a grinding wheel on my cordless drill. Its slow and tedious and i'm switching out battery packs wayyyyyyyy too frequently. Would an angle grinder with a sanding diskbe a good option?

    ...if it's anything like strip poker, you'll want low lighting...it makes for longer shadows...if you know what I mean

    I would suggest an angle grinder with a rotary wire wheel. The cup type that is. I used that on my Ranger trail and it came out quite well,
    The other option is to take it to a sandblasting shop, if you can afford it.
    If at first you don\'t succeed,dont take up skydiving

    How did you get all the little angles stripped? Or did you just pain over them?
