I used this stuff called aircraft remover. I bought it at Oreillys. It is just like an industrial strength paint remover. You definitly don't want to get it on your skin. I just sprayed it on and let it set for about 5-10 minutes then just wiped them off. I have heard of people using oven off oven cleaner. I don't know about that but that aircraft remover will definitly take it off. You want to make sure you don't get it on anything you don't want paint removed from because it will take it off fast.

Drop them off at a local engine shop and have them glass beaded, it's cheap and you won't have to deal with the mess.

that would probably be the best way. Alot less mess and not nearly as painful when that paint stripper hits your skin.

I had mine glass bead blasted and it only cost me about $20. I lightly sanded them after that to get them smooth and then coated them with clear high heat engine enamel to keep them from tarnishing constantly. Looks good and has held up great.
