Best way to remove paint off of Intercooler

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can give some suggestions on how to remove the paint off of a Intercooler. I bought a used STI I/C and the original owner spray painted it for some reason making it look like hell. I would really like to strip the whole thing and repaint it to make it as original as I can to include the red sti markings on the top. Thanks

If the IC is off the car, I'd brush on JASCO® Paint Remover and rinse off with water. Don't let any of the runoff get inside of the intercooler. Any home improvement warehouse will stock JASCO® (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.). Use gloves or be careful if gloves aren't handy because this stuff won't hurt metal but is caustic to human skin.
