What type of paint did you use?

What parts/surfaces did you paint?

Any chemical that removes paint might eat away or disfigure the plastic.

If you just want to repaint, I would lightly sand the parts, wipe down, maybe apply some primer, then repaint.

Test anything you plan to do somewhere it is not noticeable first.
