the only thing im worried about is dulling the headlight but ill put it on a little at a time. today i tryed some "spraypaint remover" from home depot but it didnt work that good:mangel:

if the paint thinner does not work, try using brake cleaner.

also takes the clear off. be carefull you will end up spending more money fixing it if you screw up.

thats a good option
the worst case scenario is a rag with aircraft remover on it, or more likely, a q-tip with aircraft remover, just apply VERY carefully and I promise the paint will come off, haha.
You could also use turpentine or turpenoid and rub rub rub. it'll come off, its justa question of time.
you could also wet sand with 1500 grit for a while
