Use a chemical stripper. If you sandblast them it will remove the machined surface.

i have already done one. I used the aircraft stipper then a brillow pad thing on a hand held grinding/polishing wheel to smoothen out the surface and then wet-sanded and buffed. An awesome finish. They polished out nicely. Pics will be up soon
