Unhappy Take off spray canned stencil on anodized surface?

I have tried searching on this and couldn't find anything of the sort.. I have a PERRIN stealth(so its black anodized) and i want to re-do the stencil because the stencil is too high up on the intercooler. I'm not sure on what product to use to get it off without stripping the black anodize. Any ideas for me? Thanks guys.

you should try acetone.

try in an "un seen" place first , to make sure it does not damage the anodizing.

if the fins are truly anodized and the stencil is just paint....

....the acetone should work fine.

Again try in a unseen spot, but brake clean (non-clorinated type) in moderation. But like said above, if its true anodized any of this stuff put on there lightly just to take paint off wont harm the anodizing color.
