Acid dipping box trailer

Anyone got any ideas about costs and what's involved acid dipping a box trailer?

I had planned on cutting mine back and refinishing as it's got alot of surface rust. But after just starting with a grinder (paint stripping disk and wire brush), I didn't realise how big a job it will be........

Maybe even get in galvanised pending costs....

I'm at Western Sydney.....

have you tried getting a tin of paint stripper from woolies i put it on like all over an area and leave is and it just makes the paint scrap off combined with a wire brush on a drill it goes but were glasses and long sleave clothes

i did this when i was cleaning a bike fame back to metal had it done in 20 min
so i recon a box trailer maybe all day at the worst probally not

i found it flicks bits of paint goop all over u and it can burn a little but if you buy the cheapo woolies stuff it usually doesnt because it not strong enough
