Abrasive wire attachment in a bench drill. Use a wire that will remove the paint but won't scratch the metal!
Polish them down to bare metal and then paint with a temperature resistant spray paint. If you spray paint it gives a more even finish when done right!
Then lacquer with temperature resistant stuff also!
