1. Any acid bath for any Airstream or Argosy product, is not necessary in order to properly paint them a color, or to polish them.

2. The risk invovled using acid is not worth the ultimate costs of corrcting problems than can arise from the acid.

3. Painters offer advice and opinions, owners offer advice and opinions, and I offer 42 years of experience, backed with facts.

DON'T USE ACID, PERIOD

I already pulled the trigger, and in this case, I am feeling good about it. 1 1/2 yers with no sign of an issue makes me believe all will be well on this unti. Yesterday Andy quoted new axel/brakes/shocks/wheels for me. This work will most likely wait for spring.

Whoops, thought this was a thread about growing up in the sixties.

It has taken me time to get around to posting some pictures. I am inspired by the many refurbish threads I am seeing, and even the blogs. I might go there as well, but in advance of that, here are some pictures that I took. Much work to be done!

Where did you go that has so many Airstreams lying around?

It is a winter storage location that is popular with Airstream owners at the Airstream Park in Clear Lake, MN.
