Best way to remove paint from OMP tow eye??

[Jamesstone]

Will be buying an OMP tow eye some point this weekend off ebay, have seen burps guide & for a total of £15 compared to £45 for the cup racer version the OMP wins lol

So basically comes painted in bright yellow & assume its going to be fairly thick but it does say its stainless steel so shouldnt rust after the paint is removed So what methods would you guys suggest? i'm thinking either wire wheel on the drill or may fit the sanding wheel on the dremmel but i dont want it scrtached to bits if i do use the dremmel :dapprove:

paint stripper?
brake fluid?

Brake fluid was on my mind too mate, thinking of leaving it in a pot over night & hopefully would all wipe off in the morning... but! looks like its fairly hard core paint as a tow eye would get some abuse

get some nitromors from B&Q that'll do it!

pour on, leave for 1hour then jet hose it
