Removing Spray Paint?

I got some Black Spray Paint driplits on the Window Switches on the passenger front and Driver side doors. (on top of the syntetic aluminum dash kit with the hard plastic cover) Anyway I can remove these little spots? I tried Paint Thinner and Starter Fluid. Both didnt work. Any suggestions?

Thanx guys.

Theres this stuff at my auto body class and it says aircraft paint remover on the can and this guy used it to remove paint off his hood and it litterally eats it off. The paint started to bubble up and all you have to do is wipe it with a rag to expose bare metal.

Re: Removing Spray Paint?

That resin on the synthetic kit won't hold up too well to aircraft paint remover or brake fluid. It's a rather soft plastic so both of those would most likely cause bubbling or softening of the piece.

either carefully sand it down with sandpaper or scrub it with isopropyl, just put tape around your spray paint marks, so you won't damage your real paint and see if that helps.
