Lund 14’ boat restoration

I am looking for advice on a restoration project that I am about to start on a 14’ lund boat.

1. What is the best way to remove the paint from the exterior of the boat
2. What’s the right way to prep the aluminum for paint
3. Any suggestions on a place to bring it to get painted? I live north of foley, mn

Thanks for any and all advice

1) Sandblast it
2) Etch the metal with acid to clean it
3) Auto body shop.

Why not bring it right to the Lund factory in New York Mills for a re-spray? Not sure if they will do it but you could call and ask!

just sand it clean it and paint, dont get to carried away tiny boat nation has great you tube videos
