Best way to remove paint of cabinet without damaging laminate

Picked up a sky soldiers in a frogger cabinet, going to restore to a frogger but the cabinet was painted grey. What is the best way to remove the grey paint without damaging the brown laminate underneath the paint?
 
An easy acting paint stripper such as 3M Safest Strip or Citristrip. Just don't go with the real aggressive strippers (wakka wakka!) unless you want to live dangerously.

Let me add to this: once you can get paint coming off with a plastic putty knife, use a rag and HOT water....wring out the rag, rub an area, and scrape gently with the putty knife... I use this method to very good effect, and the moist heat REALLY helps.
