I had the same thing on some mags I refinished. I took a stiff wire brush and scratched the paint up real good and then soaked the mags in Laquer thinner until it came off. I then took the fine steel wool to them, washed and dried them and refinished them to perfection.

Had some Sten mags with paint, used Simple Green full strength and soaked them out in sun for a couple days, hosed off good to go.

Break cleaner or rubbing alchohol will take if off real good. When I was in the Navy we painted the lowers of our range magazines, all we used was white paint from a spray can.

Ditto on the Simple Green. That stuff is great.

If you're worried about the finish underneath (anodizing, or other non paint) try soaking em in brake fluid (not cleaner).It's not quick, but you can leave em soaking for a long time, and come back to find the paint coming off like a second skin. No damge to the finish underneath.
Be sure to remove plastic parts just in case.. Meplat- |

Easy..
Methylene chloride based stripper. Brush them all then wrap together in wet newspaper and set aside for a day. Wash in hot water. Wear gloves if you like your skin. |

I guess.... if you still want the mag body intact, that might be the way to go.
