aircraft paint stripper is the strongest stuff i know of that is easily available. sanding might be your best bet if that didn't work.

thanks. i kept trying with the spray on, and its slowly working (with multiple applications though)

another question, would it be safe for me to just sand , primer, sand, then paint over the existing paint?

i use dad's paint remover purchased @ kmart. very very strong stuffi use it on valve covers, on wheels, anything and eveyrthing. i highly recomed a good supply of latex gloves and a bucket of water. it'll burn through the latex gloves after a few seconds and u don't want that **** on ur hands.
