Early A ext door handles....painted??? How to remove?

Just get a couple spray cans of Aircraft Stripper, put them in a plastic container, and spray them down real good, let them soak. Then scrub with a good bristle brush, and rinse with water, repeat as needed. Paint will come right off. Remove your rubber seals/gaskets first if they are stuck. Hopefully they didn't sand the chrome before the paint. Clean all traces of the remover off real good when done. Good luck
