I’ve seen guys use lye on aluminum and it come out cleeeean but not sure if it will strip paint as well. Some idiot painted this 05 YZ125 frame and I’d like to get it back to its OG state with the least amount of physical effort (elbow grease) as possible.
What else could I use in this situation? Paint stripper? Acetone? It’s a primer/base coat. It’s actually on there pretty good too. Thought the pressure washer would take it off, no such luck.
TIA

It's not as aggressive, so depending on the paint thickness (doesnt look that thickly applied on the frame picture) may have to do a couple coats and scrape in between.
One tip is to get some plastic sheeting/drop cloth (thin as possible) and after you coat the frame, lay the plastic on it like a bandage so the least amount of air is in contact with the stripper gel, it will help it not dry out as fast and do a better job.
