Paint stripping was where my Nishiki project stalled. I got it down to bare metal and then it sat like that for a few years while I looked for and failed to find the motivation to paint it.
My "other" winter project is to do something about the paint on my Gitane. From 10 feet away the (original) paint looks great, but up close it's got a lot of ugly blotches from a previous owner painting over bare spots with paint that didn't quite match. My plan is to rough sand it and paint over the whole frame with rattle can. The problem is, my painting space is outside (under my back deck) and I might not get a suitably dry day until June.
