Heads question

[Slow-V6]

I just picked up a set of 243 LS6 heads here in Florida. They are painted black and was wondering what should I use to take the black paint off of them? I am not sure if paint thinner would damage the aluminum or what not just wonderring what people suggest to use. Thanks.

i would use sand paper, but im not smart so that could be a bad way to do it

Aircraft paint stripper usually works pretty well with removing paint from aluminum.
