Remove paint from copper doors of rehabbed bank?




WE RECENTLY BOUGHT A BUILDING THAT WAS FORMERLY A BANK AND THE FRONT DOORS ARE SOLID COPPER AND HAVE BEEN SHUT FOR OVER 20 YEARS WE OPENED THEM BUT HOW DO WE REMOVE THE TARNISH AND PAINT?

Paulo:
I have old bank doors, that I bought from junk yard.. I did remove paint and polished the copper. They turned out super. I would love to send you pics before, during and after - just let me know your address.
I have a favor to ask. My doors were missing the knob and hinges when I bought them. Will you send me a picture of your door's knob and hinges, so I know where to start in replacng them. I would like to make them as authentic and accurate as I can, but I have no clue what they looked like in the original door frame.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ps. Did you find any clue about the original mfg?

Thanks again,
