You could always do a media blast if you have access to it.

It's only $17 for a quart, and you're not going to need anywhere near that much. You're probably gonna have to spend a little coin to get the job done right, or else I guess you could find a couple rusty razor blades and start scraping! You can at least go to Wal-Mart and get aircraft stripper or something like it.
