How can I get old paint off aluminum windows?

Jasco - it's a chemical used to remove paint. You could use a heat gun, but the aluminum will take a lot of heat before the paint starts to peel off.


How do you remove old paint off vent covers?

How old is the paint?? If it is very old, chances are that you will not be able to remove it without spending an awful lot of time, and probably ruining the finish that you are trying to clean the paint off of in the first place. Here is a trick that I used to use when I had my small remodelling company. Remove the vent covers or grilles and spray paint them with a good quality enamel from a spray can, then reinstall them. Don't forget to clean them thoroughly first! While the vent cover is off, paint the wall. If you really want to do something snappy, some Benjamin MOore stores will mix a special color paint in a spray can for you. We used to have them make up colors that matched accent colored walls, or grilles that were on walls that we wallpapered. Remember to paint the screw heads too if you do this. (get a cardboard box and poke a couple small holes in one side....push the screws through the holes and it will hold the screw heads up while you paint them) Make sure that you give the newly painted vent cover or grille PLENTY of time to dry before you try to reinstall. Do not use masking tape over the freshly painted metal for at least a few days. If you need to do touch-ups, like for the screw heads that you damage because you try to re-install them too soon, you can take a small paper cup or lid to something, and spray some of the paint into the cup. Then while the paint is still liquid in the cup, use a Q-Tip to dab it on the screw heads.

Can you use paint that has been in storage for 5 years?

It should be acceptable. You might want to take the paint to the paint store for a thorough shaking. While there, buy a straining mesh and a clean, sealable container. When you get home, strain the paint from the old bucket to the new container.
