paint on front grill

hey guys i have a minor problem but cant seem to remove it.
we were painting the garage a little drop of white paint fell on the car grill (the black plastic area not the silver). I tried to clean it right away and it smear out..now its not very visible but u can see it.

I tried many t hings and it wont come out..even rubbing alcohol

whats the best way to remove it?

soap and water works the best if its latex paint. If you can't get it out, try some plastic-x to rub it off.
