Re: aluminum finish

Most any hardware store paint removers could be used BUT…make sure they are OK for using on aluminum. Some of the harsher ones like automotive/aircraft remover might not be OK in that application. If it was me I would still use the glass beads, plastic media or soda. Sandblasting is OK on parts that are going to be painted. If a polished finish is your final goal, do not sand blast. It will make 4 times the work for you.
