I’m assuming the stripper at home depot is not intended for automotive paint. May work just as well, but i’ve unanimously heard “aircraft stripper” from every person i’ve ever met who’s taken paint off a bike. The side of the container says: “Intended for use on automotive surfaces. Designed specifically to remove two-component urethanes and epoxy finishes”.
Pep Boys was the only major retailer I found in New York City that sold it by the quart, but I would assume a more specilized store that sells supplies for body work would too. Probably more of those in LA than in NY.
I did it on my original Special tank. I used a DA sander and left some paint on for effect. Add stickers and some 2K clear and done.
I sold it on eBay when I upgraded to a 750 tank. I am still using the side covers which hot the same treatment.
The 2K clear really holds up well to fuel.

Dig that tractor seat setup and look. I have an old tractor seat hanging on the wall waiting to be farted on.. HahaYep two or three. Some are powder coated and some paint
RE; aircraft stripper. When you can't find it, use this stuff from Permatex. Most auto parts stores carry it. Works great!!
