shot blast and then powder coat it. most powder coating places do shot blasting too so make a few calls to local places.

as alan says, nitromors should shift it. it's messy and dangerous because its pretty nasty stuff.

if you need help i'll ask my dad as he knows a fair bit about FS1E's...

What colour was it origenaly?

im not 100% wether the frame is brased and if you shot blast it you might damage the brase as its really soft metal

be easyer to nytro it tbh they only have small fraims so they are easy to work on
