How do you remove acrylic paint?

[-JD-]

So, I painted a grey triangular clip brown quite a few years ago now, and I want to get it off! Is there a quick solution, without harming the grey piece?

I've scratched a bit of the brown paint off, and then tried soaking the part in hot water, but the latter only softened the acrylic a bit.

Sorry if there is a topic on this already, I did search but I couldn't see anything on this subject.

Thanks.

Try carefully sanding down the paint without damaging the piece. Then, put it in hot water again, but scrub it this time. If none of this works, you'll have to resort to a rubbing solution.

Hope this helps!

rubbing alcohol works like a charm!

Nail paint removal liquid works after you rub for a while. Beware smelling it though.
