removing paint on gas meter
The previous owner of my house painted the gas meter the same color as the
house and used the same paint. I'd like to remove that paint and potentially paint the meter and pipes red so that I can see it when backing into my sideyard where the meter sits. Currently it isn't easy to see as it blends in with the house and grass. Is there a good reason NOT to use paint thinner, mineral spirits, scrapers, and heat guns around your gas supply lines? I can only surmise that detonating the meter set will probably send me on a one way trip to the stars. Using strong solvents around the pipe joints might not be good for their health either. So if that isn't a good idea, how would you remove the paint? Second question is after you get rid of the paint, would you recommend painting it again - or just leave it grey primer as it probably came? |
