Paint removal from aluminum

[Kevin E]

I am upgrading my coil springs and shocks.
Is there an easy way if removing overspray form aluminum??

I use aircraft stripper if there is a lot of paint to remove or acetone if it’s not too bad. Just need to make sure neither product gets on any painted surfaces that you don’t want blemished…

If you can access it, scuff it. I don’t know what acetone will do to Al.

Acetone is safe to use on aluminum and even anodized aluminum. We use acetone to remove the lettering/numbers from the manufactures as well…
