I will be undertaking a major tower project next year with gently used Rohn
55 tower sections. I bought 18 sections for a insanely great price and they
were in almost new condition. The only issue is they are all painted red or
white.
The wife would like to see the new tower (180ft tall) not painted and
returned to its deep gray galvanization. I tested the paint on the tower
sections and it does *not* contain lead paint.
What is the best way to remove this paint and leave the zinc galvanizing
intact? My crazy idea is to build a 'tub' that will hold a section,
submerge it in the tub filled with chemical paint stripper and use a broom
to brush off the paint. Or am I over thinking this. :-)
Thoughts?
