removal of acrylic paints

[graceyb13]

Hi there
i painted my elder daughters wheelchair spoke guards with acrylic paints but she now ants a new design. How can i get the acrylic paint off. The spoke guards are clear plastic underneath the paint and they cost me £50.00 to buy new blank ones. If i can remover the acrylic i can paint them again. i soaked them in soapy water but it didn't do a great deal and i tried to scrape them and ended up with sore wrists!!!!
Heeeeeeelllllllllllp!

Hi, yeo it worked well although it has hurt my wrists doing it!!!!! At least i can paint them again now. She had them in the english flag for the world cup!! Not sure what i will do gthis time, not that i am artistic, just tight!!! Mind you if i buy patterned wheelchair spoke guards they charge you between £50 -£100 for each one!!!!!!! So if you know a good artist with a heart of gold

For future reference brake fluid is great at removing acrylic paint.
