Refinish Bowrider split windows

[scrmnegl]

I want to take off the old paint from the aluminum window frames in the split window bowrider windows I have. It looks like the previous owner had tried just slapping on some paint over the old stuff. How do I go about stripping this off and repainting this myself?

Thanks!
Chris

I just bought a used painted frame to replace a damaged section. I used wet sandpaper 400 took about 1 hrs to sand down to bare aluminum inside frame and out. Frame looked so good I did rest of windshield frame and sprayed it with clear looks new again.
