I tell you what is good for removing paint, but in my opinion, not as harsh as paint stripper, cellulose thinners. I have used it at work quite a few times but not on a tmic, so couldn't say at all if it would do any harm. Hopefully somebody will come along that knows about this sort of thing.
Just thought I'd throw in another idea.

Oh "as old as you feel" lmao, that would be 44 then [sigh]
I thought about this, but have heard spraying fins reduces the efficiency of the fins due to the reduction in heat disipation effect, um.. or something like that
