Depending on the manufacturer of the shell there are several ways to strip paint off equipment. One of the most safe methods is using 91% Isoporal Alcohol, just fill a small container (one with a sealable lid is best to control fumes) and let it soak, if you forget its there no harm done. Most paint will slough off in a couple of hours, but there are types this will not touch. Other types of strippers you can try are, Oven cleaner, Brake fluid, Pine-sol, ELO (easy lift off), and another option is to purchase a grit blaster and sand blast the paint off, my least favorite way but if all else fails, a shot gun.
