I did this, and can confirm it is a complete pain and took much longer than expected. My 1905 house had a thick awful green protective paint under the several layers of white. I heat gunned it (not fancy IR gun just £20 heat gun) and scraped a lot and then sanded a lot. V messy, but looked nice afterwards.
