I was thinking about using paint stripper and lacquer thinner. I have painting experience but I've never removed paint from stainless steel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I hope everyone is well and safe,

I have used Goo Gone before to remove painted chrome without damage to the chrome plating. I had to leave it on for a couple hours, but it did the job.
