Steps I need to follow

As you have found stripping parts takes several sessions. I believe the most productive method is putting a heavy layer on the painted part, let it react (lift) and then use a small brush or toothbrush to move the paint off the surface before the stripper dries. Once it down to metal and gooey paint you can use a brillo soap pad to remove additional paint. This is actually removes a lot of paint. Rinse & repeat to bare metal. I would perform this operation in the garage since the stripper works best above 70F

Just my 2 cents

I would think that sanding it off would be easier and faster.

Can I come use your garage please? Thanks SRS and I'll keep the several session thing in mind but I don't have one (the shed doesn't have any airflow through it) so this is the best I can do for now.

You would think so but this stuff is taking it right off. I am pretty certain I'll have to still do some sanding later but with nowhere near the effort I'd probably be doing.

+1 on what srsupertrap said, you have to be liberal with the stuff, trying to use it sparingly does not work to well, if you lay it on thick you can literaly wipe 90 % of it off with a rag, and as he says, a wire brush or stiff toothbrush takes care of the rest, and the part comes out nice and smooth, no gouges from a scraper.
