use diesel fuel or a safer thing would be paint thinner. Walmart has aircraft remover in a spray can it works wonders on removing paint.

careful with the stregnth of paint thinner you use, it may etch or even melt the plastic. home depot is your friend. take a trim piece in there and they will point you in the correct direction.

i wouldnt use this because it will melt plastic. i would find some spray paint that is for interior and repaint the parts that need it.
