Re: Stripping off Krylon?
Super Clean Degreaser, Automotive Dept at Wal-Mart, one gallon purple antifreeze-type jug, About $8/gallon.
Get a long plastic window planter, pour in a gallon, soak object overnight. A stiff plastic brush will remove the loosened/softened Krylon.
The extra gallon is for bigger/deeper projects. The degreaser can be reclaimed by filtering it back into the jug through a funnel that has a Melita/cone style coffee filter in it.
The Super Clean will etch aluminum, so be careful; although etching can also be a good pre-treatment before painting.
It also does a pretty good job of removing Cosmolene.

I'm actually trying to get this thing cleaned up before I send it out to you for the loggerhead mod.

I can't claim credit for bringing up the Super Clean. It was originally brought to The 'Hide by another member' and dangme, I can't remember who or I'd be giving them the generous kudios they deserve.

Re: Stripping off Krylon?
I use Citristrip stripping gel. It smells decent enough to be used in the house, and embarrasses acetone, brake cleaner, etc. Just slap it on with a paint brush, wait a little while, and wipe off the Krylon. It is gentle on other finishes, too.

POR has an organic stripper that works well on the things I've used it on. Never tried it specifically on Krylon.
