Stripping AN lines

Hey guys, I'm tryng to go for as much of a factory look as possible with the custom lines for my T-RAM. Unfortunately, the AN lines I got come in that nasty blue/red color scheme. Is there a way to strip this crap off so it shows as natural aluminum? I've heard that oven cleaner might do the trick?

Oven cleaner is the shit!!! I decided that one of my hose ends could be spared for the experiment. Easy off heavy duty stripped that red and blue shit clean off. Take a look:
