go to autozone or any high end auto parts store. i think maybe even some wal-marts carry it.

aircraft stripper is what its called. i use it when i am out of my usual stripper and it will take the stink off a skunk:p

use in an area with good ventalation, and wear rubber gloves and eye protection because it will burn you badly if it gets on you.

i like the brush on type(it does also come in an aerosol can)

apply it, wait about 30 minutes, wash it off. dry the part then repeat until the coating is removed
