if you do not want to media blast it, i use the paint stripper in the link below. typically at auto parts stores and home depot etc. buy around 3 or 4 cheap paint brushes, rubber gloves, plastic goggles.

use in well ventilated area. it will fry your lungs and eat your skin, no joke. washes off and neutralizes with water.

put a medium thicj coat on, leave it for around 10 minutes or until paint bubbles heavily.

use a tooth brush to help remove paint. it will be messy so do it in the neighbors yard when their not home.

if It does not work then go to an automotive paint supply store and buy military spec paint remover #83936 from PPG.

This stuff will dissolve your bones, lol.

ya what Barnett said. That is some nasty stuff but it works. Makes one hell of a mess though.
