  In the olden times `magnet wire' had enamel on it. (color-less paint)

Pain strippers will soften and remove these true enamels.

   Lately wire is coated with various resins' such as `spar varnish' a phenol
resin, Formvar, Solvar, Nysol, Polyurethane, Polyesterimide, Polyimide and
others, these higher temperature and more flexible coatings are quite resistant
to stripping products.
