When I ripped the carpet up they looked like the picture below.
I scraped the (probably lead) paint off with a Bahco paint scraper and then sanded it with a random orbital sander using 24-40-60-80-120 grit discs.
It was quite a laborious process but I got into a rhythm of it and it went fairly quickly.

Were they painted before? What grades of paper did you sand them with? It's taking an incredibly long time to do mine and I might just use peelaway.
