or use carburetor cleaner BUT DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR CAR OR THE WHEELS!!!!!. cover the wheels with petroleum jelly or grease around the area. The carb cleaner will eat through that as well, just not as fast... It should help dissolve the paint. Don't leave it on for more than a few seconds. it works fast.

I would use "Bleche white" spray product. It's the best out there.
