If you want to get it down to bare metal for best paint adhesion, sandblast it. Why do you not want to have it sand blasted, if I may ask?

BTW, you can mask anything you dont want to get stripped with tin foil. Buck 67 273 Dart GT 69 RT 440 Charger (SWEET!) 70 318 Cuda 74 Cuda Packin a 426 roller Hemi

Oven cleaner works well, sandblast is the best way to go. Yeah you mentioned you don't want to do that but...it is the best way to go. Blast it, and it's ready to be coated. If you already have an air compressor, you can get a cheap-O sandblaster from Harbor Freight. For Easy Off method; put the parts in the sun for about an hour (just enough to warm up, DON'T cook it!), spray down, wait 5-6 minutes, quick scrub with a disposable brush, turn over, spray down, scrub again, wait 6-8 minutes, rinse with HIGH water pressure. Repeat if necessary. You will have to prep the part for paint. Clean, clean, etc. Death or Glory...it's just another story.
