Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is another blasting media worth trying.

This may sound like I am off my rocker and just totally off the wall. 
Bradley is right about bead blasting off the paint, but I know of a guy who 
makes dentures for a living and he recomended to me one time to try crushed 
walnut shells instead of glass beads. Low pressure and crushed walnut shells 
do wonders for the plastic and enamel on dentures. Not only does it take off 
the glue and crap, but the walnut shells actually polish. I thought of 
purchasing his old blaster that he had made, but he wanted to much for it. A 
good sheet metal shop can make a small blaster for around 300 to 350 bucks, 
depending on the size the more expensive the cost to make one. Sounds crazy 
but crushed walnut shells do work also.
