Well if you are going to remove the IC, I would say maybe Aircraft stripper. Then power was it. Just my .02

When I removed mine, I used aircraft paint stripper available at auto zone. I used 2 cans and a brush to loosen some of the paint. I don't think you'll ever get it completely out of the fins but it comes off the end tanks easily.

I got some outside home ac coil cleaner from lowes and it took the paint off my ac unit coils (bummer) It just all hosed right off. I would guess it would take the paint off of the ic too.
