I'll chime in and agree with TheMeanDM. Purple Power works great. It's in the automotive section of Wal-Mart, right next to the SuperClean (which should also work). I've stripped paint off of metal and plastics with them with no damage to either. This includes plastic and metal miniatures which had thick layers of Testors enamel painted over them 25 years ago. Soak them for 24-72 hours, then run hot water over them and scrub with a toothbrush or lightly with a bronze brush. The paint will come off.

As far as there being a no-brush option, though, I couldn't tell you.
