                        Well, what type pf paint did you use? Enamel or acrylics?

                        DOT3 Brake fluid removes enamels

                        Windex or, rubbing alcohol removes acrylics.

                        hth,

                        Eddie

                        Got any nail polish remover? The kind with Acetone in it. If not, use some paint thinner & elbow grease.

                        Some people try easy off oven spray but, I haven't tried that yet.

                        Easy Off oven cleaner will do the trick, outside of course. Simple Green also will work but takes a little longer on enamels(non-toxic too).
