The paint was not of quality anyway, as there were sections where it was peeling already.
My first inclination was to hand sand in place and spray. I quickly realized I would never get a paint job that would look anywhere close to competent. The next plan was to disassemble, strip, sand, and repaint. Everyone around me were convinced I had noooooo idea how hard that would be. Actually, I did, but was determined not to pay for blasting. But, blasting won the day as the only realistic solution. My boss was kind enough to give us all a 4-day July Fourth, so figured it was time. Here we go... hope it goes back together some day...
