Cleaning? How Do You Do?
Dr.Agon:
thanks for the ideas
might try some xylene or IPA, if that doesnt work i could try some 2-butoxy ethanol
if THAT doesnt work i'll move on to WD40
wiggy:
lacquer thinner. Seriously.
It's metal. Do it.

I missed the metal plate part. No question, go with the thinner.
Dravenae:
Wiggy is the cleaning guru. If he says do it, DO IT!
Dr.Agon:
looked up lacquer thinner on wikipedia where it says they use, among other things, aromatic hydrocarbons like Toluene
this led me to Xylene, which, coupled with some scraping, took that horrid stuff right off!
now its ready for priming and repainting!
thanks wiggy!
