Blasting is probably best, and the blaster you choose will be able to advise on what material is best to use - sand, shot, grit and so on.

However, it may not be necessary to go back to the bare metal, and if you do, careful consideration must be given to what primer you'll need to use.

Sounds like a fun project!
