    Need advice on prepping trailer for paint

    Started grinding/wire brushing the paint off my 10’ trailer. The floor is expanded metal and on the edges where it’s tacked down, I have some paint flaking under the expanded metal I can’t get grinder to. Other than strippers is there any suggestions to get that flaking paint off.

    How coarse is the expanded metal?

    There isn’t really a good way, wire cup on a grinder may get some, but man they’re a pain, and those wires go everywhere.

    If the expanded metal isn’t too thick, I’d use a long bristle handheld wire brush, or maybe a chemical stripper.

      Abrasive Blast if you want the paint to last
