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.
