My stern-leg and transom shield have been painted with multiple coats of anti foul. The boat is now a trailer boat and I am in the process of re-painting the whole boat. I currently have the stern leg and shield off the boat completely apart. What is the best way to clean the whole lot back to the aluminium. I am going to repaint it in a 2 pot paint so need it cleaned right back. Thinking of various ways like an acid bath or grit blasting. Happy to take it somewhere and get it professionally done but just need to know the best way.
