paint stripper on aluminium mast?

So, having pulled 60' of aluminium out of 40' of fibreglass...

The paintwork on the mast is very tired and in places non-existent. So we plan to repaint.

Is there any reason why we cannot use paint stripper on the alloy mast?

If we can use paint stripper, is there a particular type that will be best in this application? I'm guessing that the paint would be etch-primer, primer then 2-part enamel or similar... like I say, in varying degrees of direpair.

Thanks
