I think quite a few use hammerite but you need to let it dry fully and keep airing it.

Just leave the boot and doors open for a few hours?

Stripper will smell too. And you can't beat hammerite, it's the shizzle!

you will just get fucked from the paint stripper fumes instead , just leave it to dry, it will eventually fully dry out with no smell.

That will make it look shit, especially if its gloss paint. Best off just leaving it all open if possible to dry.
