Paint remover with Methylene-Chloride will work but getting harder to find due to toxicity and EPA concerns. Take it from a guy living in LA who used to use it for everything.
Still going to take it down to metal at least in spots. No way to get rid of the blue only.
Take it to the soda/media blaster, strip it to metal and rebuild it OR straighten what you can, clean up details like overspray, take 320 grit to it until it looks like red underneath is paint worn down to primer. Matte clear it and enjoy the heck out of it. Then you won't have to fret when you get a chip, nick, or ding.

I like the 320 grit option - or try some different sanding methods and see what works best. This will probably take me years, doing sections occasionally.
