Heatshield HELP!

[MSP#735]

ok so this is what my heatshield looks like after 1 can of 1200 degree Spray paint and roughly 3 to4 months...screw this! I am now wanting to polish it...any suggestions on how to remove the paint and polish the heatshield, especially the, caution hot logo?

Try a wire wheel on a drill. That'll take the paint off in a hurry.

*DON'T DO THIS!* IF you plan on ploishing this piece...DON't use a wire wheel on it....You will have to polish all of the sand scratchs out from the wheel....10x the work! Not sure how to get the paint off, but I would try some of the Aircraft Stripper first....Its a spray sit and scrape method...works well on most paint including automotive.

Oops, my bad. I missed the fact that he wanted to polish it.
