Steam is the way if you can as you won't need any chemicals at all.
If no, then Tensid do a 'non-harmful' paint remover.  It's expensive but does the job.

it depends on the type of paint steam will not move some types and you will deffinately need chemical as mentioned tensid do a remover and so do graffittihotline
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

if its a big enough job we could help you out with a low pressure blasting system that will take the layers of paint of without damaging anything

The only type I have come across that steam will not remove is distemper which hasn;t been used for years and this is only a couple of weeks old so shouldn't be a problem.

The only chemical I would take is a ghost remover... just in case.

It was done by the painter on some apparments who dropped the tin, it was water based masonary paint.
