Assuming it's lacquer paint, lacquer thinner should remove it. A lot of work and if you use this thinner, be sure to be in a very ventilated place and use eye protection.

Use citristrip as a primary paint remover, use lacquer thinner or acetone for small clean up detail if necessary. The advantage of citristrip is no objectionable fumes and you are not trying to put a harsh, flammable liquid solvent up over your head. It is safe for fiberglass, scrape or wipe off residue, repeat if necessary, clean up with soap and water or odorless mineral spirits. If paint is a poly or epoxy, residue may turn into a goo that is difficult to remove with soap and water, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, or acetone. If that happens, using denatured alcohol will work getting the goo off. Whatever you use, wear gloves and eye protection.

I have removed more paint in 60 years from vehicles than almost everybody on this site by sanding, razor blades, sandblasting, paint remover, fire, pressure washing, air pressure, and washing with solvent.
The point that I was making what the wording for the title of your post "Removing" that appears in the list of posts that most people use to determine whether to read a post or ignore it.
It was meant to help, not to criticize. I guess that some people just like to be sarcastic to others.
