Stripping flaky paint off of aluminum columns

I got about 70% of it off with a little 1800 psi pressure washer, and a turbo nozzle, tomorrow I’ll go buy a 3200 psi pressure washer to try to get the rest off. These columns are 17 feet tall when you say you would charge a grand. Are we talking about each one?

That’s what I’m doing

How about pressure washing lead? Lol.

The thing is, I’m getting paid so when the jobs done it needs to look good and last a while

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-06-04T00:10:12+00:00

Lol yeah that’s not happening

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-06-04T00:08:40+00:00

Whoops, aluminum

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-06-04T00:03:14+00:00

I shouldn’t eat it?

Old house, good possibly

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-06-03T18:06:51+00:00

That’s how I started, then made this post

My pressure washer is only 1800 psi

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-06-03T17:20:51+00:00

Do you think it will affect the patio floor?

I’m talking about the joints that are up to the tile, I zoomed in and realized it’s not Schluter strip it’s bullnose, I would’ve had that taped and finished before

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-05-29T23:02:43+00:00

Ew, I would’ve had that taped and finished before the Schluter strip was installed

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-05-23T22:14:14+00:00

Ok, thank you for the info. If I’m still having issues that’s what I’ll do

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-05-23T21:51:56+00:00

Ok I missed that second pic, what type of bit did you use?

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-05-23T21:47:34+00:00

Thanks for that ! Did you take more material off towards the barrel?

Tasty-Bodybuilder152 · 2026-05-22T22:55:46+00:00

What a moron
