Hey! I actually just did this exact job in my house on the fireplace. Probably about 6-7 layers of paint for me. I did a ton of research and settled on smart strip (amazon link below) - there is also a pretty good YouTube video of someone doing outside brick. I put the paste on very thick and used the waxy paper to cover for 2 full days. When I came back to it with a heavy duty razor scraper, it came off pretty easily. I’d say I still spent 5min per brick on the later part of the process but absolutely love how the project came out.

I'd go with this remover, not sure about refinishing or repainting, never done metal before.. Good luck!

Thanks. I used the sander just on the rails and stiles. Because the sidelights were originally painted after they were installed there was no paint on the edges and a few coats everywhere else. This would have left a very visible paint line all the way around if I had just painted without sanding first. So I just sanded to blend in where there was paint and where there was none, as well as the loose paint that came up easily. I didn't need to use a heat gun because I was just going to repaint them, not take them all the way to bare wood.
Around the glass I hand-sanded any loose paint and heavy paint bumps. Since the closet is upstairs I didn't have to make it show quality because very few guests will see it.
The sander is a 5" random orbit Bosch ROS20VS. It's several years old, but works great. Never leaves swirl marks.
I've refinished several 100+ year old doors (with a century of paint on them) to bare wood for staining. It's a very tedious job and I hated using heavy solvents, like you. I did find some success using non-fume products like Peel Away. You brush it on and let it sit and it makes scraping off old paint a lot easier. You just have to follow the directions closely and make sure you get it all off (it's water soluble). However, it may still leave very old oil based layers. You may have to just sand, or scrape, those off.
But, the next product I will try for those projects is Smart Strip (https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Strip-Peel-Away-Remover/dp/B001F0KO2S). It's expensive, but seems to get good reviews.
I think that after all is said and done, after all of your labor, after all of your worry, after all of your tests, after all of your products, and after all of your finishes, that you should absolutely be able to fuck your wife on that floor. So I vote for that. Lol. Ever seen this stuff? Just a thought. Good luck with the rest and congratsy on the asbestos removal. Booyah.
