We just bought a building will a red medal roof but the last owner painted it black and didn't do a good job and it is peeling. We would like to take it back to the red. We used a pressure washer all day and it took some off but it is slow going. Is there any other way to remove the black paint without damaging the red. Thanks so much1

You could try various solvents ... depending upon the quality of the original paint finisah you may be able to do so without damaging it but it will require a lot of hand rubbing and hard work as well. Todd Miller
