advice on re-paint

Been awhile since i have been on this board, but you never steered me wrong.

Had someone paint my Deere and they did a great job. Somehow, the carb [MS TSX-245] was painted blk instead of green, so he re-painted it green [w/out removing blk]...since painted, it has bubbled in many places and w/in 1-2 months.

Question, what is the best way of getting both layers of paint off? I beleive the outer green you could mostly peel with your hand, but what about the black? i sure want to prevent any debris from getting into the small brass air-ways throughout the carb.

Thank you for your suggestions.

The carb is not disassembled, and i was trying to avoid having to do that again, yet achieve maximum results.

I overhauled the carb 3 yrs ago and either replaced or cleaned everything [soaked it in the carb-cleaning-bucket for 2 weeks]...it was completely disassembled & every part possible removed down to the smallest hiding brass orifice. Since reinstalled, it has performed flawlessly.

If i do need to pull it apart and soak again, i will. But, i was trying to avoid all of that if i could strip it w/out, AND not cause any problems.

Thanks again guys for your comments - if you have any questions, pls let me know?

thanks,
