Is there a way to remove 5 layers of paint without disturbing

Really would depend on what kind of paint you're removing. If latex then peeling and scrapping with a plastic scraper would work. If oil based you could try solvents and heat.

paint stripper will not effect enamel, enamel is baked on glass.

dat rust. Dem bubbles-o-doom

Paint might be the only thing holding that together.

The pink layer is latex. The other layers are oil. The original white is glossy on metal, from the 50s or 60s

I don't mind the rust edge, that will be hidden under the name plate but if I can get all the paint off down to the first layer I can seal and repaint

Do they make plastic scrapers for the oscillating multi-tools? The floppy metal scrapers would go through with no problems, but you could cut into the metal real easy.
Maybe attach a sturdy plastic scraper to a cheap or old blade for it.

There are also scraper attachments for reciprocating saws.

steam and or a heat gun/iron

Good idea. the latex layer will be easy, but not sure about the 3 layers of enamel underneath. pretty sure they are lead too.

if you say I can use paint stripper and not fuck up the base coat then I'll do it

Put a little on the space under the nameplate first to make sure it doesn't stain

that's not enamel, boyo

My bad I'm not good with paint-on-metal. What is it? Should I not bother with chemical stripper?

What is that on?

Scrape off ridges
Fill low area with bondo or something similar
Sand smooth
Primer
New coat of paint

No need to take the old paint off if you just want the gap gone

No no, I mean removing everything from the surface (including doors and pull drawers. There's been so many bad paint jobs I want to strip it down to its original color (gloss white) and repaint it properly

Looks like paint. Enamel is thick and doesn't bubble like that from corrosion underneath.
Since i think you mentioned it's a stove, the paint is probably heat resistant/baked paint they usually put on stoves/furnaces.

You can strip the whole thing's paint like other anons mentioned (pink layer looks like latex) and paint over the metal surface with the appropriate paint or you can go crazy and send it to powder coating.

Its metal cabinets, but essentially the same as a stove would be, except the metal has rusted where it was exposed to water (not surprising since there's a sink above it).

As you can see in the picture, the many paint jobs are sloppy and the wrong paint was used (not glossy, not evenly coated). Ideally I would strip it down to the white, and leave the white, and then give it a new coat of some glossy color. I COULD remove all the cabinets and send it somewhere, but ideally I would just remove the doors/drawer faces and go at it one at a time

ugh, kind of ugly

just strip the paint no matter if it will strip the original white paint or not.
sand the shit rusty spots, eventually give it a coat of primer then paint it with some color of choice.

Just make sure you take care of the rust, otherwise it will keep bubbling with rust and turn the new paint to shit.
