yea use "circa 1850", it works wonders, I used it when i was building my custom sport bike, it bubbles the heaviest paint off in seconds. then you can pretty well use a dremel and polish it. use a #6 polish. i would try straight polishing it first and then if you dont get the desired finish you could sand it, but airsoft metal finishes do not really have any pitting, so you shouldnt have to sand. DO NOT SAND unless you have to. if you do sand use a 2000+ grit paper. be careful with that paint stripper. it is powerful shit.
EDIT: i have never used it on plastic. so thats my disclaimer. as i say do not get it on anything unless you want that paint gone.
