On most newer shells you should only use alcahol

If your paint was a water based paint, then soaking it in warm soapy water might help. Give it a while and see.

If your paint is an oil based painted, (oh no) you will need something like paint thinner to help you.

I hope this helps.

Try the search function of the forum, we already had this topic a few times. i use 96% isopropil alcohol, which you can buy in most pharmicies. put the shell in it for a few hours and bru***he paint away with an old toothbrush.
