Anyone who uses acrylics, especially the automotive spray variety, will know that once dry there's not much you can do to shift them.
After the paintjob on my Deckard Sedan went pear shaped I was left with no option but to try and strip it.
A quick hunt around the net led me to try using neat Dettol disinfectant (I think it's Pine Sol in the US).I placed the car body in a plastic sandwich box and immersed it in neat Dettol. I then sealed it up and left it for around 3 hours.
I then gave it a vigourous rub with a nylon brush...I wore rubber gloves and safety glasses for this bit...and the bulk of the two colour coats and one primer coat came off.
Another dip in the solution for a few more hours and this is the result.....
The plastic is untouched and what remains of the paint will disappear under the new primer.
