Dot 3 Brake fluid will remove the paint.
Never tried it while it was still wet but should work.

Take a rag and soak it with Dot 3 then just wipe the paint off.
Once the body looks clean of all paint, (use a white background to check)
Wash the body with warm water and dish soap. It should be squeaky clean.

I'd recommend using rubber gloves.

I used brake fluid to remove the factory paint on this one so I could paint it purple:
