As Larry said, cleaning this many parts with Brasso would be an enormous job and
it wouldn't work on anything textured, like roof bricks, and would take the
printing off any printed parts.

My suggestion would be to take some of the more disposable pieces and experiment
with solvents to see if you can find something which will take the spray paint
off without melting the bricks. Brake fluid is one possibility - it takes
printing off bricks but doesn't damage them unless you leave them soaking in it
for too long. Also try nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and paint thinner.
Laquer thinner dissolves bricks.

Good luck

Kevin
