I have found quite good results can be achieved by careful use of an electric hot air gun. Just remember to keep the heat away from rubber parts.

I say careful, because too much heat could cause distortion of aluminium... but you would need to be pretty brutal to do any damage.!!

Assuming the paint is nitro cellulose, quite a good way to remove what is left after scraping it would be to wipe it over with thinners.
