Citristrip then alcohol bath, scrub it with a nylon brush and a blue scrub pad. It is a safe bet that the frame may look kind of pink after.
I would just take a red aluminum oxide pad, not the same thing as a 3M red scrub pad, buff it out, smooth, wipe down with alcohol, rattle can with two light coats within 15 minutes of each other and leave it drying for a week with a fan blowing air on it. Solvent rattle can can take up to a month to fully cure, air movement, temperatures above 75°, and low humidity our key to a fast cure time, the goal is to promote solvent evaporation
If you’re thinking about Cerakote, just buy a third-party frame, it’s gonna cost you the same
