Polishing a norcold vent

[goshawks00]

I just received a couple of aluminum vents from norcold with white finish. Has anyone had any success removing the white finish and polishing them? The finish appears to be either baked on or power coated. HELP!!

If it's powder coated your going to need a very strong paint stripper plain air craft stripper may not due. Eastwood.com sells a good product to dissolve powdercoat that isn't too hefty of a price tag. I use powderstrip PS -2L but it's not cheap and must be bought in minimum of 30 gal buckets.

Thought I'd update for others. I was able to get all the paint off with Aircraft Stripper, though it took multiple coats to remove it all,
