Use more paint stripper on the areas with paint on, wait for it to bubble up and then use a scraper to scrape it off.. Try brake fluid maybe, I heard that works well..

please don't use brake fluid as it may prevent paint from ever sticking to the metal again

you need to ruff the paint first use a coarse paper and just rub enuff to scratch the surface to allow better penetration
