Paint Removal?


A strange question, I'm sure...

But,

I'd like to remove the gold paint (or other silk screened ink) from the face of a preamp for aesthetic reasons. It appears to be on a black anodized aluminium plate and I am concerned that paint remover might damage the aluminium.

Anyone do this or have ideas?

Thanks,

Don't forget that acetone, MEK, laqueer thinner are all HIGHLY volative/flammable and adsorbed thru the skin. Use w/good ventilation, gloves, and no open flames.
Just out of curiousity, did you try the Holly Cole or Patricia Barber? And, if so, did it work?
Like a previous poster said, there are non-toxic paint removers that work very well. I have used them on the aluminum trim tabs on my boat, paint comes right off. Google jamestown marine supply and look in their catalog.
