Ways of Removing Paint on Used bottlecaps?

[Contec]

I thought i ask the RPF forume on idea on how to remove the paint on used bottlecaps.
I could use sandpaper but im going to do loads of bottlecaps and it is going to take forever to do it.
Maybe someone know some solution that i can put them into and the paint just goes away or something.

The thing im going to slowly build is Tom Cruise armor from Legend..

Bleach, paint-strippers, heat gun...

The fastest way would be to sand blast them using glass bead media. This would still leave a smooth finish on them. You could probably do 100 or so in an hour. :confused

By the time you spend X amount of dollars on strippers and cleaning not to mention your time, you will probably exceed the cost of simply purchasing the new ones...

www.amazon.com has them 50 for $3

www.bottlecapco.com has them in 1000 lots for $49

And Ebay has a bunch as well...

That sounds the easiest way to go, I'm all for the easy way.

Aside from that oven cleaner will do the trick.

**Edit**

On the other hand by the time you've spent out for whatever cleaner and the time doing it you.....Aww hell I'd get the blanks and start from there.

can't you just used the inside of the caps?
