I bought three weeks ago a german nuts vending machine, the paint was starting to peel off at the top of the machine and I decided to get rid of the old paint, I know not much in DIY so I used 120 sand paper with my electric sander and 180 sand paper by hand, the result now is not bad at all but I have difficulties to removed the paint in some area, it was hammered paint anyone know how to removed it easily ?
here is the machine before
and now after some hours of sanding
and here are the area where the paint is really difficult to remove
also after the paint will be totally gone I want to polished it, again I'll work by hand, I'll use 800 sand paper with water and then use steel wool with polishing liquid ( sidol ) am I correct or do you think I should use other things
