The two quickest methods to remove paint from metal are, the use of heat, and chemical strippers. A propane torch or heat gun will soften the paint so that it can easily be scraped off. This may generate toxic fumes, though, and should be done outside or with a respirator. There is also a risk of injury due to the heated metal.
Chemical strippers are available on the market for removing paint from metal as well. The active ingredient in many such products is methylene chloride, which is very toxic and should be used with caution in a well ventilated area.
There are also paint strippers that do not contain dangerous methylene chloride and work extremely well. Peel Away 7 or Smart Strip Paint Remover are the best to remove paint from metal especially if there are multiple layers of old paint. These products are available at stores like Sherwin Williams or Home Depot.
