I have been experimenting with this recently. And have found that alcohol does work well with alot of elbow grease. but for me has also left some of the paint no matter how hard I scrubbed it. I have also used a fine grit sand paper if i was not worried about the details. This method works very well but like I said you will have no detail afterwards.The last method that I have been working with, and I personally like. Is using figure nail polish remover. I dilute it with water and work in a small area at a time. Using a Q-tip I rub on the paint and then quickly wipe off the area with a paper towel. I have not witnessed any pitting or softness of the plastic as of yet. But this is just the way that I choose to remove paint, I would try it out on something not so important before trying it on something that is important. I would also suggest doing this method in a well ventilated area because of the odor. (Also, the way I figure it, when girls use those fake plastic nails and then take the polish off using this stuff, it shouldn't be all that bad on plastic)Hope this helps, remember it's really all trail and error, so don't get frustrated if something doesn't work for you, there is always something out there that will.Let us know what you come up with..........
