Old brake fluid, as Eric suggested, would do the trick since you're not in a hurry.
Auto shops that do flushes oughto have enough used stuff to let you take a quart.
There are some "safe" aircraft coating removers out there, like the two gallons I
carried on a commercial aircraft to Japan. (try that nowadays!) I stripped my whole
car with the stuff, and it was "safe to handle", until it came into contact with
paint. I got a glob of the disolved paint slop on my chest, and it painlessly
ate a hole through several layers of my skin before I even felt it. Truly evil stuff.
I was thinking that if you didn't overheat them, you could probably use a propane
torch and a wire brush to get the old paint off, if that isn't too much like work.
