grill paint removal

I have a 67 grill but it was painted black - how do I safely remove the paint without hurting the metal

Aircraft stripper won't hurt the metal. It's a nasty process though.

A softer wire wheel should work too, and its what I plan on. Media blasting would be nice, but spendy.

Was the grill factory painted grill or an aluminum grill painted by someone.

No aluminum grille was painted from factory other than the vertical bars top and bottom.
As was said before use aircraft stripper. Use outdoors, wear gloves and a mask, read label real good.

aluminum grill painted by someone - where can I buy this stripper at?

Check to see if it eats aluminum first. I don't think it should since aicraft ARE aluminum. I didn't think you were talking about an aluminum grill, since they normally aren't painted.

Anyway, any hobby shop, auto parts store, Walmart, or hardware store should have some.
