Obviously sanding doesn't get into the grain. Any thoughts on an easy way to strip it and get the paint out of the grain, without removing metal. I tested a strip disc, scotchbrite wheel, fine brass wire brush (works but VERY slow). I also stripped the main surface paint just using thinners (I had it to hand).
Paint stripper is one obvious possibility - what do you think (and if so, are there any that actually work these days?)
