lets just say I have a frame set ,say an 85 orange streetbeat

, its been painted grey & looks to be just a rattle can job ,but underneath the grey paint is the original orange enamel? finish. Will nitromors just remove the crap top layer?

It will take the lot off. Try some thinners. That might soften up the grey paint if it's crappy cellulose type paint. $:-\$

Im begining to think that some of the original paint underneath may have been stripped in places like the drop outs anyway so fook it ill strip it bareback -back to bare i mean

heres said bike,nitromors didnt even touch the paint is tougher then i thought.
It needs to be stripped right back i think.
Why you would do this to a streetbeat i dont know

I think some one had dark midschool plans for it.

That's because the new batch of Nitro-Mors is crap - it has been health and safety-fied and they took the naughty chemical out which does all of the work.

SBD uses Starstryp or something.

I'm OK, my local DIY shop has some NOS paint stripper out the back.
