I need to strip rear frame grill of paint so I can polish it. Will such as nitromors do job or is it best to get it done professionally.

I’ve used nitromors before it’s not as strong as it used to be though

A dremmel and a bag of brass wire brushes from China off ebay.
Wear safety specs and thick overalls though as the bristles come off quick. One pierced my wrist once; went about 20mm into me like a little spear! They do work well though and I still use them, albeit with appropriate PPE

if you go down the paint stripper route the screwfix own brand stuff is pretty good
personally for something as small as a rear frame grill I'd DIY
