The fastest way to remove paint from a metal surface without a wholesale "stripping" of that surface is sanding. And power sanders, either the electric or pneumatic sanders, will do the job nicely. It will be up to the user to keep the surface of the abrasive pad flat against the surface to avoid "digging through" it. And a light touch with the correct pad will get the paint off quickly without ripping through to the metal underneath. A 220 grit pad is not too rough that you can't control it, and not too fine that it takes all day to do the job. The thinking here is for automotive applications. If you have a different problem, you'll have to adapt what is here, or perhaps ask a different question. Noise and dust might be a problem, either for you or for "neighbors" who might be affected by your activities. Think through the setup to find the right place and time to do the work.

How can I paint a metal front door without removing it?
To paint a metal front door without removing it, you can follow these steps: Clean the door thoroughly with a degreaser and sand it lightly to create a rough surface for the paint to adhere to. Use painter's tape to mask off any areas you don't want to paint, such as the hardware or windows. Apply a coat of metal primer to the door and let it dry completely.
