I mean...you don't want your nuts off balance.
I hit the fender with easy off, and rinsed it after a couple hours. It strips a lot of paint, but something I've noticed (after doing this on the frame previously) is the paint let's go in a similar way as aging.
What I mean by that is, the areas of paint that tend to chip off and wear over time are usually vulnerable parts of the paintjob. The oven cleaner eats through those same areas pretty readily. So if you don't leave it on too long, it will give you a very similar weathered look that is random and 'natural' looking.
After that, I dry brushed the fender with a coppertone, Pearl Ex powder. It clings more readily to cracks, crevices, and edges of the paint. My idea was to make it look like burnoff. So you get hints of 'embers' along edges (like burning paper). Additionally, it gave the frame a bronzed look in areas. I am anticipating the same for the fender. In direct sunlight the bits of flake in the pearl should really sing as well.
