How do I remove paint from an old bathtub?

I just bought a house built in 1950. One bathroom has the original bathtub. There is paint on the inside and top edges. I was able to remove what was on the bottom of the tub by peeling and by using a plastic scraper. The paint on the sides and top are too thin to scrape or peel...no discernable edges to attack. I think it's latex paint. Any suggestions on how to remove the paint without damaging the tub?
