Unless the paint layers are flaking you don't need to strip the crown molding. Sand any imperfections and give it a coat of Kiltz. Allow to dry and repaint it any color you want. The old brown paint won't show thru the Kiltz and new paint.

The easiest way is to take it down and take it to a professional refinisher that has a dip tank. It will cost you some money but will save you a lot of hours of work. Otherwise you are going to have to do a heck of a lot of scaping and sanding from a ladder.

Use a liquid stripper and coat it heavy. Use a fine brush to get in the tight areas. When removing the stripper, use a toothbrush and/or dental floss to get the tight areas.
Don't forget gloves, eye protection and a face mask. Good luck and happy remodeling!

remove it and strip it, or have it dipped. If it's not chipping though, you may just want to get a light-tinted primer and then paint it white.

Oh dear! This is a toughie. I just say sniff gas. Do nothing else, just bend over and sniff it as hard as you can. Yes, there is a possibility of passing out, but just sniff gas
