If none of the above work, try lacquer thinner. I have removed spray paint with it before.How do i remove spray paint from the hard plastic cover on a exercise bike?
Goof off should do the trick, use a sponge with a ruff side on it, then armour all the plastic, Do it outdoors though, Goof off has a high odor....
Naphtha (lighter fluid) or rubbing alcohol is not on your list -- be careful with acetone it will ';melt'; may plastics. Without knowing the type of paint and type of plastic it's a crap shoot. The last possibility is MEK -- Methyl Ethel Keytone. (It is the basis of paint removers.) Since the acetone did not harm the cover -- the MEK should be OK. Test a small spot first -- MEK is available at any paint store -- read the handling directions carefully.


Lacquer thinner is as reactive to plastics as acetone -- basically they offer the same solvent properties.
