stripping paint off Bburago models

Does anyone have any experience with stripping the paint of current Bburago die casts? Especially the latest SF90 Stradale?

I've tried "normal" polish remover, chemical paint remover, brake fluid, chlorine cleaner, scraping it off with tools…
Nothing seems to work well. I was able to get the big flat surfaces quite clean, but around angles or on the inside the paint just won't come off.
I always soaked the pieces for 72+ hours.
Removing chips of paint with a knife seems to make more damage to teh metal than to the paint.

Any ideas anyone?
