Thanks mate. I have a bit of work to do one the front and rear plastics so may attack those and the hard lid with 120 dry and work my way up. Appreciate the warning.

I’ll ask my neighbour. He is an experienced panel beater and spray painter.

Try cleaning with a paint reducer solvent or industrial thinners and see if come off.. hopefully, was no hardener used in paint and will come off with solvents listed and elbow grease( most spray paint comes off with these solvents and won't damage paint underneath)
if not come off hardener used in paint and best to strip back with a quality paint stripper instead of blasting.
blasting makes more work hence more $ ( unless doing the whole car and pockets full of $)
try this trick before anything else as might save you a few $s and the original paint too.
good luck!

Ive had sucess by lightly rubbing with turps on a rag. Go gentle, check the rag for paint colour as you go/

Thanks guys I will give this a crack first and go to the stripper if I have no success. I’ll let you know how it goes.
