Oven pride or caustic soda if they're anno. Paint stripper if they're paint.

I think the standard colours are Anno but i'm not sure on pink.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

If your repainting just wet flat them and repaint, no need to remove all the old paint,

Gonna play Dad now.......... Wear eye protection!!!!! A couple of yrs ago I stripped an old engineers wooden tool chest. I'd finished. picked up some wire wool I'd used and a blob of stripper flicked up off it straight in to my eye! :shocked: The pain...... 3 weeks later after loads of hospital visits I was told I was lucky not to lose my sight...... Would hate it to happen to anyone else.
