Help request, polycarbonate body

[Apexs]

Hi I need some help please, just painted my first polycarbonate body and of course I have messed it up, I did not realise iridescent pink/gold was like a lacquer and needed to be backed with black (clearly says paint black over top on the lid ), so of course I put to much on, which caused my paint masks to crinkle up a bit and let paint get under it.

1) What would be the best method for me to carefully clean and remove any paint from my masked areas? Without effecting the rest of the paint.
2) Or if I need to start again, what to use to totally strip the body so I can start again
Many thanks

break fluid? the body is not as bad as i thought it would be after all, so all i need to do is clean some paint away from where its bleed under the masking, some of the detail i need to clean is very small

Take acetone or brake fluid and dip a Q-Tip in it.
Then start working the area that is covered.
Make sure you squeeze as much fluid out of the Q-Tip before applying as you don't want drops to leak onto the paint.
If it is an area that is going to be painted, first try to get as much off with the Q-Tip and then take some 500 grit (or higher) sand paper and lightly scrape away the rest.
When you re-paint, you will not be able to see the scuffs unless your using chrome.
As for the windows, your best bet is just the Q-Tip.

depending on how thin the paint bleed is, you might be able to get if off with foam tyre traction compound.
