Your bar must be different from mine, because this one says right on it "7075 butted aluminum". It's the flat bar, but the riser for 220's, 221's, 231's are alu. The 220 is 6061, the others 7075. The stem should be 6061 as well. As long as the parts are from an xlite as you say, and not a 219, they should be aluminum.

However, I don't understand "strip the paint", because my Monty parts are all anodized, so again I'm not sure what you really have there. :?
