that stuff was pretty much made to not come off. like styoung said, good luck. your best bet would be to sandblast it and be done with it.

Yeah unfortunately I agree with them. I'd say either blasting or a grinder.

Put some aircraft stripper on and watch it come off in about 3 minutes. I've stripped an entire pro stock style cage in less than a hour.

Yeah this is on a 9inch housing so I think sandblasting might be best.

Aircraft stripper is some power full stuff. It would prob take the black off a black man.

If you don't want to blast it then aircraft stripper, if you can try to score it with a razor blade or maybe hit it real quick with a grinder then put the stripper on it will work better/faster.
