I would opt for something less messy like Castrol Super Clean or Easy Off oven cleaner.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon

Successful Paint Stripping
Posted by MonsterZero on Friday, December 12, 2003 5:21 PM
I used a plastic container (the size of a shoe box and with a lid) to create a brake fluid bath for stripping the paint off a tank hull. I submered the hull in that disgusting oily stuff and let it soak for a few hours. Then I scrubbed everything off with an old toothbrush and repated the procedure of scrubbing and agitating while submerged.

The job was a 100% success but some of the glue joints let go too and reassembly was required.

You must wear protective glasses and gloves because brake fluid is potent stuff.

And better don't mess up that paint job at all, it's a messy procedure to strip it off.
