If you are careful you can easily strip parts with caustic. Go to the grocery store and get some Sodium Hydroxide (Red Devil Brand Lye) and mix with water About a table spoon lye per cup water. Wear some good chemical gloves and a face sheild and keep a jug of vinegar around to neutralize spills. If you want to remove paint it will do the trick as well and cheaper than anything else and doesn't have the vapor of the Easy Off. Remember to add the caustic to the water so there is no spatter. For additionally hard to get off paint you can easily mix some corn starch with the water to make it thick then brush it on and cover with some plastic wrap to keep it moist. It will cut paint as well as your skin so be careful and don't let the kids get near it. Spray it off in the drive when finished, dry, prime, paint.
I love how these people paint stuff, they hose it down with soap and water to get the big chunks of grass and stuff off, then scrape off some grease with a putty knife, and then shoot paint! There are some neat old farmer tricks to be found though!
There is another recipe for electrolytic stripping, but I have yet to try it. Apparently you use a mild acid solution and a battery charger and it supposedly eats rust and dirt. After I try it, I will let you know.
