barracuda grill stripping

Hi everybody.
I am taking apart my grills on my 68 barracuda to replace the mounting studs and thought I would polish the grills but noticed the finish on the grills have some kind of coating. Is there a way of stripping this coating besides sanding? I heard oven cleaner might do it?
The grills and light bezels will need some minor dolly work so there are going to have to be stripped and polished. Thanks for any advise.
