what is the latest chemical to remove paint from aluminum that does not harm the aluminum ?

I do not want to blast the paint off this piece.

Aircraft stripper should be aluminum safe. It works for me anyway.

ok.... I have not chemically stripped a part in years.

remember when oven cleaner actually worked on stuff??? It would clean out the whole area , your eyes, nose ..... :twisted:

Any stripper will work but the aircraft stripper is better as it removes the paint quicker. I stripped a whole Maseratti years ago with just hardware store stripper. It worked fine but  took a while. The car had been painted like 4 times.. Its messy and it smells.. Id tend to believe that now days with all the rules and regulations that even the aircraft stuff isnt as good as it used to be.  
I did the maseratti then sanded it with 240 and zinc chromated it then laquer primer and about 4 coats of white laquer after that. It held up well.. We didnt have epoxy stuff back then or id have used that..
