    How do you remove paint from a aluminum door?
    The sun made the paint on my front door peel away exposing the aluminum. It looks like shit and needs to be repainted. Is there a easy way to remove the rest of the paint?

          The same way you remove it from any type of metal door. Soak a rug in paint thinner and apply to the paint. Use scraper once it loosens up. Use sand paper if paint still exists on the door.

                        be careful with any scraper use. try plastic. metal could create gouges in the aluminum
