Hey guys I'm hoping some of you have run across this problem before. My front door is one of the galvanized metal ones with the vinyl coating on it. Back during the summer the coating started loosening itself from the surface of the door for some reason. Now it has come completely loose and is hanging in several strips. Unfortunately it isn't October or I could pass it off as Halloween decoration because it makes the door look horrible. My problem is that it hasn't come off all over the door, just in the middle, which we all know leaves the outside edges of it still covered. I could take it off and sandblast it but I know that would take off most or all of the galvanizing. Being an exterior door that means it'll be prone to rust at some future time which would be about as bad as what I'm facing now. So, beyond blasting do any of you have any idea what I might use to remove the remaining vinyl from the door? If I can get it off I can repaint the door and make the place look civilized again, but I know it's worthless to try painting til I can get all the old stuff off. I would really appreciate any ideas and suggestions ya'll might have. Thanks.....
