The paint will obligation to be sand blasted off. You may want to hire a professional since sand blasting is very messy and can be unsafe. However, if you think you can handle it yourself, you can rent a sand blaster from an equipment rental facility in the neighbourhood you. Hi .. you could try a paint remover like Nitromorse which acts resembling an acid & melts it past its sell-by date..
