Answer
Hi Agostine,

You can use a product made by Kleanstrip call Aircraft Paint Remover. It is designed for removing paint off of all types of metal surfaces. If it's plastic or fiberglass you will need to use a different product. Here is a link to a site that carries the aircraft stripper in an aerosol can which I think would be very convenient: http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd_aircraft.cfm

I hope this helps.
