Nitromors and a rough brush, leave it for 15 minutes. Then a pressure washer, then probably a bit more Nitromors.

Did you skim the bright metal parts of it, and did you also spray the letters & numbers or by sort of dropping paint in them?

There's also few little scratches in the unpainted area which I caused accidentally when I was grinding the paint off.
