paint removal

[offgridman]

Guys, looking for some help on removing some paint from two of my cabane struts. Seems they have some corrosion under the paint. I think they were wrapped to protect the paint when they hung the airplane from the ceiling. Looks like some rust has formed in a few spots from trapped moisture. about six inches on each side (guessing)
Anyway I need to remove the paint treat and repaint it. Looks like some kind of epoxy paint as its pretty thick. Would a liquid remover be in order for this task?
