I use it primarily for stripping paint off plastic parts. CSC is known to be safe with plastics.
It will oxidize aluminum if you leave it too long or don't wash it off effectively. Try a search on Castrol.

Use a plastic tub and soak parts overnight. Use an old toothbrush to scrub off any stubborn paint.
After the part is done being stripped, just clean with dishwashig soap and dry.

Fully immersed over time. Keeping it warm (or at least not cold) will help reduce the time needed for soaking. Different types of paint take longer.
I don't know how effective it will be on powder coating. Probably won't work at all.
