Default Help removing paint

Hey folks,

Can someone tell me the best stuff to use for removing paint off of stainless steel? I got my car (not the 'vette) from the bodyshop this week and those morons painted all over my stainless steel muffler.

I was wondering if anyone out there knew some good stuff I could use to get the paint off without using a blade and maybe scratching the hell out of my pipes.

I wouldn't think it'd take anything that strong. Why not call up the body shop and ask? I'd be afraid that the aircraft paint stripper would tarnish the stainless. That stuff is potent.

I'd first try some stainless polish and a buffing wheel. The paint shouldn't stick to the stainless very well and should come off with a buffing wheel.

Body shops use steel wool to remove overspray on chrome and stainless.
