Anything with methylene chloride in it will get the paint off the metal but don't use it on the fibreglass as it will eat the gelcoat. I did my shrouds & ht last year and used the cheapest hardware store stripper in 4 litre tins. Slop it on with a paint brush and scrub it off after ten minutes with a brass wire brush. Clean the wire bristles off with a rag when they are caked up and you don't make very much mess at all. If you have heaps of paint layers the first ones can be scraped on the flat areas with a paint scraper but only very gentle scraping on the curved bits. Good hose down afterwards before the stripper starts to dry and you're done. For the hardtop I used a citrus based stripper and it worked well although a little more slowly than the methylene chloride type. I covered it in plastic kitchen wrap and came back in half an hour with the wire brush. It took about five goes to get it all off. Don't get the fibreglass soaking wet as it absorbs moisture. Lots and lots of photos before and during stripdown...
