Removing spray paint from alloy rack

[AB]

I picked up a very cheap rhino rack a while ago and the previous owner black spray painted the back of it for some reason.

What's the best way to remove the paint from alloy?

A very light sand?http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/03/52.jpg

Acetone. Or paint it whatever colour you want. Even a high pressure washer might get it off too.

The best and quickest way, fine grit sand blast.
Or paint remover..
Or if your that keen, sand paper..

Burn it ;)

Burn it ;)
Preferably off the car..

A round wire brush on the end of a drill would clean off the paint, polish the aluminium and bring it up like new.

Maybe a finger power file wouldn't take very long
and will look neat to boot

Paint stripper like nitromors is a good method also.

Cover it with a Redback rooftop bag!!

With Clunk burning if youre doing the whole thing cheaper ,neater from the results Ive seen

Paint stripper works a treat on ali parts without damaging them.
