Default Remove paint?
What is the best way to "un-paint" a part of my case that i spray painted?

I did 4 coats of paint followed by 2 coats of clear coat. (Rust-Oleum brand)

Would sanding be a good technique? Rubbing alcohol? I have no idea.

Thanks in advance and +reps for help!

Out of luck, you might as well just sand it a little bit and paint over it at this point.

Or remove it all and start over.
