aircraft coating/paint remover
you can pick it up at any auto store

Wear 2 pairs of gloves (rubber or latex, not vinyl), long pants w/ shoes, and goggles while spraying it. It REALLY burns...trust me

sandblast it !!!

edit: that just gave me an idea. if i could find some dull clear coat to make it look like brushed aluminum (clear coat just to protect it).
