Information on removing paint from brass needed

I have acquired two large (size of 5 gal.bucket)solid brass spot lights that came off of a sea going vessel. They have both been painted several times. I have tried paint removers, but a slow process. Is there something that I can soak parts in to speed the paint removing process up and then what do I need to do to restore brass?
