Sand em doWn. Adds character.
Are the shells plastic or metal? If plastic I's stay away from the industrial dip tanks, (too hot) and the media blast may remove any details from the plastic. When I saw "600" I thought you were talking about the AF 650, 651, 655 etc.
The advantage of the Castrol Super Clean is it removes the paint (even chrome) with out any damage to the plastic.

Since they are metal any blasting cabinet with the appropriate media and air pressure would work fine.

Castrol Super Clean. A liter bottle with the top cut off works to hold the solution, and the solution can be reused many times. Soak for a day or two, rinse really well, and most paint comes off easily. A tooth brush to get into the creveses. Repeat as needed.
Want to restore some old 600 Pullmans. I used to soak them overnite in some powder detergent and water, but can't remember what to use. Does any one have a better idea, mthat leaves them ready to paint? Thanks, bill
