I found that some of the stronger paint removers also softened the bondo on
my aluminum shrouds. Just let it soak for a long time and gently scrape it
off. The other method I used was to apply gentle heat from a hot air gun.
You don't want to heat the aluminum too much but the heat gun did soften the
bondo so it could be scraped off.
