What's the best way to remove gloss from wrought iron?

I am trying to restore an old wrought iron fire place and mirror which some philestine has covered in white gloss. I have got a lot off with peeling and a wire wool brush, but now its getting more delicate.I have been advised to use white spirits - has anyone done this? does it work? Thanks.

Answers:
you can buy non chemical paint stripper bur the chemical one is better get some thick plastic gloves paint the stuff on and use the wire woll and a scraper to remove the paint.
petrol
normal paint stripper will remove it, and will not damage the fire place
Nitromors paint stripper, wear goggles and gloves,but believe me, it works.
If it is a good piece worth doing right then have it sand blasted.It is not as dear as you may think.
you can get a good paint stripper for the job that's the best way to do it
White spirit is not strong enough. Use paint stripper.
