Orbit sander and wire brush not effective.

I am trying to remove the paint on some weight lifting plates. The plates are not completely flat and smooth, if you run your fingers across the plates you feel many imperfections. Also the plates have a hole in the middle and gripping holes on the side.

The orbit sander doesn't work. I have a wire brush attached to a power drill, it doesn't work either. With these tools, it will take me a lifetime to get through all the plates.

Any alternative tools I am not thinking about that I should use?
