Thanks for all the input guys, it;s greatly appreciated. I went down to Home Hardware, and told them what I wanted to do, they told me oven cleaner wouldn't work at all. The reason paint thinner doesn't work is because the paint is fully dried, and it still has to be a little wet for paint thinner to work. I ended up getting this 6 dollar bottle of paint remover designed for removing from metal. Kudo's to the reccommendation on the brass brush, it is working well, I've been at it for just under an hour now and it removes the paint with a little elbow grease, I'll be sure to post some before and after pictures. The only thing I have left to consider is the final step. Can I polish it, or must I buff it?
