Oven cleaner works well, although a concoction called lye gravy is cheaper to make. If you search the archives there"s a recipie for it, but it"s basically lye mixed into a cornstarch/water solution which just keeps it from running off. If you have multiple layers of paint usually one layer comes off at a time and you have to reapply. Be careful . . . lye solution is what they use to dissolve meat tissue off of bones so it will do a real job on your skin and eyes!

What I have found using oven cleaner to remove paint is to take an old spray bottle filled with water and when the oven cleaner starts to dry, dampen it with a small amount of water. It keeps it working as long as it is damp. It will even help if it drys over night and you dampen it the next morning.
I like to do it out in the drive and after testing to see if it had done what I want it to do, I take a high pressure washer to it.

I use it all the time for a degresser. I would not want to use it on some painted surfaces buts works fine for most surfaces.

yup oven cleaner will remove enamel paints. it was a good way to remove lettering on trucks too. it doesnt work as fast as a commercial stripper like aircraft stripper, but its a lot cheaper to use. apply it, let it soak a while , it will bubble up, then scrape off with a plastic bondo spreader. reapply as necessary.
