I thought the same thing but I tried it anyway and it did not hurt the plastic at all. When the paint came off the plastic was shiny and clean like it was before I painted the body 10 years ago. I used oven cleaner from the dollar store and a plastic bag. I let it sit over night and the paint came off when I ran water over the body.

you want something that isn't solvent based like thinner or stripper, something that is orange based or specially formulated for plastics like chameleon would work best

im not sure what brand of paint was used.

Brake fluid.
Using a sponge and put a nice coat on it.
Let it sit for about 10-15min keep an eye on it.
Take a q-tip or something similar and see if you can wipe
the paint off if you can then get an old rag and start wiping the paint off
if not put on more brake fluid and wait.
