Removing paint from aluminum

[oneslowcamino]

The guy that I bought my El Camino from had a great idea of painting a face on the nice polished aluminum air cleaner then covered it up with stickers. I pulled the stickers off today and tried to use some paint thinner to remove the paint but that didn't get me any where. Any body have any ideas on how to get the paint off?

Glass bead blast it, 'grind' it smooth as glass, and just have it powder coated clear; it will look better than new.....:thumbsup

What do you guys use to polish with? I was thinking about buying a Dremel tool and getting some of their polishing tips.
