Angle grinder with a wire wheel attachment is what I would use. Bunnings or any other hardware store sells them.

As for warming them up before spraying, yeh if ya can do it, in the sun for a hour prior is better apparently but i wasnt able to as was winter and i had nothing to warm them up with. well what if i just keep constantly hosing them down with water every few mins whilst im sanding?? i was planning to use the heat gun on most of it.like heat them up then spray em?did yours end up pealing?
