    you could used pool acid with a 3m red scuff pad use all things needed to work safe with acid rubber gloves face and lungs. wash spot down with alot of water and baking soda wash then with metal prep wipe dp epoxy it on it i do one spot at a time seal it up with a epoxy so it will not rust up or use a clean n strip wheel on a roof you do not want to sand blast it you will warp it all to hell

    Aircraft quality (and safe) paint stripper is required, followed up with 180 grit, then 200 grit, and finished off with 320 grit automotive grade sandpaper. After all that is done you need a DTM (direct to metal) epoxy primer followed up with a good topcoat of paint (enamel is fine for it). Do not leave it just primer/sealer as primer/sealer is not meant to be exposed to the elements and will actually attract and wick moisture causing the panels to rust even faster than before.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.
