Default How to remove paint from PVC pipe?

I have a section of PVC pipe I need to put a ball valve in. The pipe was
previously painted (I believe water based paint) and I need to clean that
paint off so I can apply PVC primer and glue. What is the best way to clean
the paint off? I tried sandpaper and that did not go very far,

Thanks,

I use a file, cleaning the file whenever the paint buildup in the grooves reduces cleaning ability. So far I haven't found anything more efficient or cost effective.
