If you want the job done well and quickly, use aircraft paint remover. Beware, it's so bad smelling that I think it scares the paint off. Use a mask and gloves place plastic on the floor to catch the droppings. Let it all dry them dispose of properly.
3M makes a very good wing walk stick on application. This is not the standard sandy black peel and stick you buy through Spruce and one would get it through an aircraft paint supply store. Probably about $25 per square foot. Do the math. Randolph wing walk paint is the probably the best all around stuff. About $25 a can. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Green To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 11:11 AM Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Wing Walk My coupe has a painted on wing walk with some type of non-slip abrasive mixed in. It has started flaking and I wish to replace it. Any good recommendations on how to remove the painted compound? My coupe is polished aluminum, so I am leery of the abrasive here. Also, does anyone have any strong opinions on what to replace it with? I was looking to put those self-stick sandpaper type wing walks on.
