Use paint remover on the paint, and then clean it with oven cleaner.

I would stay away from oven cleaner. I have had some brands of oven cleaner on some aluminum parts turn them that dull dark gray color. The best thing I have used to clean aluminum is coil brite, acid based coil cleaner. It is used to clean ac coils. Leaves the aluminum bright. It won't remove paint so use paint remover for that. It can be found at any air cond supply house. If that is unavilable aluminum wheel cleaner, foaming kind. Its based on same acid just not as strong. If not too tarnished will brighten up aluminum. Hope this helps.
