cleaning anti foul paint

Submitted by laza g on Sun, 2008-07-06 21:32.

Hi
just doing up an old mercruiser leg and it has been painted with anti-foul. I thought I could get it off with a wire brush on a drill but it just seems to polish it. Has any one had any luck with other cleaning methods say chemicals etc.

At BIAS marine I found some anti foul paint stripper and with a high pressure water blaster they seem to remove the anti foul paint well.

Thanks
