Very carefully!

Actually you can soak it in easy-off oven cleaner for 1/2 hour at a time, gently scrubing with an old toothbrush (do it in an old plastic container to contain the fumes and mess) rinse with water thoughly or the new paint won't go on well.

One thing you don't want to do is to use anything solvent-based. I did once on an N scale that I bought at a thrift shop. It got the paint off really good and took a lot of the details along with it. :eek::eek::eek::eek: Counting rivits on that loco was easy...:cry::cry:
