I found some antique brass plates someone had painted fire engine red! I have them just soaking in water and mild soap which is removing some but not much.Thanks!

There are chemical paint strippers that will remove the paint without harming the brass. If there is a lot of detail work that needs to be cleaned out then you can use a stiff plastic (not metal) brush to remove the softened paint from the brass plates. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and goggles when handling strippers.

Get some mineral spirits (sold as "paint thinner") and soak the brass plates in it. Then rub it off with a clean cloth.. This is the mildest that will dissolve the paint.
There is also a more costly and more aggressive thick liquid called "Goof off Ultimate Paint Remover" that can be poured on the paint and left to soften it. Then rub off with a clean cloth.
If either leaves residue in the nooks and crannies scrub with an old toothbrush dipped in the liquid.

Most paint remover liquids (available in paint & hardware stores) will do that without harming the brass. Brush on, let set as directed, hose off, rinse and clean.

i might do what easily the has completed with ITS portrait: i might generate the Universe. this is the only thank you to completely exhibit it. portray it may be an fairly undesirable representation of ALL there is (and that i'm a painter between different issues, yet... no, there does not be adequate colors and the thank you to precise that).
