i tried white spirit, petrol , light going over of wire wool, wet and dry paper, ended up doing a rushed refurb so they look tacky up close, but hey ho

Yep repaint. Try a cutting compound first. May get away with it

I had some bits like that and whacked some mer over it and it got it off. Might not have eaten away as much as yours though
