hardware store... lacquer thinner... chemical resistant gloves...
disposable cloth... rub in lacquer thinner and paint comes right off.

Or there's various paint removers that goop out in a jelly like goo,
that will blister the paint up, then you take a scraper or some type
of spatula and scrape it off. *Again, wear chemical resistant gloves
and safety glasses.

BTW, one must be careful, because both methods will melt certain
plastics...
