Paint removal

Hi everyone,
Any suggestions on the best way to remove paint off of sport mirrors? I was going to use a wire wheel on a bench grinder but I think that might be a bit rough for the type of metal that are made out of. I don't have access to sand sand blaster either, unfortunately.
Thanks,
Dave

For small stuff try Evercoat Aircraft Remover. Be sure to get it all cleaned off and neutralized before you paint or you will be painting it again.....Tedd

Be sure and have good ventilation and wear rubber gloves. Paint stripper is nasty stuff.

80 grit carefully and do not forget to tape the mirrors heavily if still in them.
