Tony, not an expert.... the dip has supposedl;y come off with # 0000 steel wool and WD40 (even better is to use bronze steel wool). If paint, then who knows. I have used "Gunk-off" and it takes most stains and paints off of surfaces where it should not be.
If it was me, I'd use the most benign solvents to try to take off the paint, slowly working towards a paint stripper. I would use it in a place that is less likely to show later, i.e. under grips, grips, etc.
But I can about guarantee that any paint stripper will harm the finish.
Also, depends on the type of paint, any non-petrolium paint is harder to get off than the water based paints.
