I would like to reverse an acrylic paint job I performed on some figs I have. It is my understanding that a gentle way to remove acrylic paint from plastic is to soak the item in Simple Green for a few days and it will fully come off, or with a bit of gentle brushing. Optimally, I would prefer not to damage the factory PVC paint underneath, but remove the acrylic paint layers above.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Would another "solvent" be better for this purpose?

You can also scrub with 91% rubbing alcohol.
