For fixing paint blotches, I have successfully used fingernail polish. Not polish remover!!! Actual polish. Brush on a small amount on the paint you want to remove. Wait a few seconds, and then wipe it off with a paper towel or old rag. It should remove one layer of paint down. It might dull the plastic, but if you are repainting, this won't matter.
I took off a Cobra logo off an '84 Storm Shadow and the face and arm camo off a v1 Tunnel Rat using this method. Tedious, but highly effective. (I suggest clear polish, so the residue doesn't show up, but if you wipe it off quickly, there won't be residue...)
Mr brother and I used to paint matchbox or hotwheels cars and if we didn't like it, we used mom's polish to get off the most recent layer. Multiple times we took off the layer we had just painted and got back to the original factory paint that way.
It's possible to do with plastic as well, but I've only done it on figure modifications so far...
Hope to see pictures when you're finished! Once again, do not use polish remover as this will melt plastic. Polish, not polish remover...
