Tin Lead Painted

How do you remove paint from tin ceiling tiles?
Help! I need ideas for removing paint from antique tin ceiling tiles. We are renovating a 1920's cottage, and have taken the tiles down to strip the paint.
The first layer seems to be a latex paint and the second layer is lead-based. We want to strip them down, prime and repaint them a copper color.
Well, the best and least expensive and least time costly way to do it is as follows:
Use oven cleaner. Apply a thin layer of the oven cleaner to the tin tiles and use a small putty knife to remove peeling and loosened pieces. Apply a second layer of the oven cleaner using a stiff bristled brush to get the oven cleaner into the cracks and crevices. Apply as many layers as you need. You'll be able to just wipe away the residu with a damp rag. However, you should wait about (but no more!) than 2 hours for the oven cleaner to work properly. Don't wait longer so it doesn't damage your tin tiles.
Protect the surface of the floor with a large sheet of plastic, since oven cleaner can harm your floors. It's also important to protect your eyes with protective goggles and your hands with rubber gloves.
Also, though it isn't part of your question, when you prime your tin tiles, make sure you use an oil-based primer to avoid having your tiles rust from water-based primer. You can then paint latex paint on top of the oil-based primer without a problem.
This is how I did my tin tiles and those of 3 clients.
Enjoy your new tin tiles... ![]()

Where can I find a copy of this art?
I am looking to find a copy of this piece of art. It's not a drawing. It's a piece of tin or some kind of metal that had the details hammered into it or something and then they were painted black and they pop out. It's a piece of textrued metal. If you have any leads I would appreciate it. I'm looking for an exact replica of this and any that my be of a similar nature, but different scenes like a herd or something, but in the same style. Thanks.
this is the closest thing i could find and it's not the same thing but you might like it still...
