What is the best stuff to use to remove paint from aluminum. I have an Edlebrock Performer intake that someone painted black and I would like to get it back to it's original look. Not sure about using paint remover on aluminum.

sandblasting works well

Sandblastig won't warp it?

Will a stripper corrode, dissolve or pit aluminum?

If you have access to a glass beading cabinet I would say that is the way to go. I would then use a high temp clear coat on it.
