I would try a diluted hydrochloric acid mix and see how it goes. Increase the strength if it doesnt do much the first go. make sure ya dont get any inside though.

don't paint it just clean it up, yeap hydro' acid diluted mixture sounds the go for outside, maybe for the inside block off one end and half fill it with degreaser, then swish it around and shake it up and down, then drain and give it a good rinse with water

For the inside, I used petrol in mine, swished it around and empty it... repeat a few times....
Then metho to dry it a bit... or acetone if you can get it.
