common sense, just check that the paint stripper you use wont damage the material the intercooler is made from.

Or you could take it to an engine reconditioning shop and have it put in a caustic bath. That will also clean the insides out as well.

any idea on how much that would cost?

It shouldn't be any more than $50. And it would only take a couple of hours.

Take it to (Natrad) or your local radiator repair shop they wash them in watered down hydrochloric acid

blow it down (air compressor) should take all the paint off

washed again with soapy water,dryed then painted
