4 D blasting at the port of iberia. they will sand blast it for you but they will probably want to soda blast it instead and it will cost a little more. go with soda blasting. sand blasting aluminum pits the metal and removes a good bit of metal. did you try a good paint stripper? google aircraft paint stripper. then just power wash it off.

Thanks for the info. If I use a paint stripper, can I just sand off the few areas of corrosion by hand?
