I chucked mine up in my dremel and then used Mothers aluminum polish on a red scotchbrite pad. It knocked it off in just a few seconds.

I had the same problem. I'm using a set for my T-bucket build. I had stripped anno off aluminum parts before with Easy off oven cleaner, but with the titanium turn buckles, it wouldn't take. I just polished the blue off on a bench buffing wheel. They still will not show a polish like aluminum though.

Thanks guys. I used a cordless drill and some polish along with grey scotch. Took only a couple of minutes.
