Hmmm never tried over cleaner to specifically remove paint, but I have accidentily gotten it on things with no ill effect. I normally use actual stripper in a can (its a compressed foam) that I get from Home Depot for small projects or I like to use aircraft stripper which comes in a larger metal can (similar to paint thinner). You can buy that last stuff at most auto parts stores... the last time I picked it up, I got it from Oreillys on 303.
Any kinf of liquid that yo apply to remove paint is going to be messy. You want have any kind of clean product to use... aircraft stripper can be a little harder to apply because you have to apply it yourself vice using a spray can, but I recommend it above anything if youre doing it on a large scale. Small scale use the canned foam. I may have a picture so you can pick it out at Home Depot by the mall.
