Home-brew Nickel Stripper?

Hello,
I am looking for a formula for a nickel stripper that I can mix up myself.
I have some delicate parts that can't be replaced and I want to strip the nickel and then use an epoxy primer.
Or
Can you suggest a "Prep Process" that will allow me to paint over the nickel plate and still have good adhesion?
