Happy Easter to you and your family and friends!

What can safely and quickly remove the paint from my hideaway headlight doors?

The paint existing is cracked and messy. They appear to be aluminum.

Thanks!!!

They are pot metal with the outer edges chromed and satin black on the fins from the factory. I would try some lacquer thinner, maybe soak for a bit to lift the paint and use a soft but stiff brush remove the paint. Stay away from anything caustic like oven cleaner or paint stripper.
