Use paint remover and steel wool. Or you can lightly sand the area until the paint comes off. This procedure will dull the metal surface.

You can either do it by hand with a hand-held wire brush or you can get a wire brush that attaches to a rotary tool like a Dremel.

Probably the fastest way is to chemically strip the paint. It may be messing but it is the least labor intensive. I prefer to do this on really stubborn paint. However I like to manually remove paint from certain surface by sanding.
