So i dipped my mcpx canopy in brake fluid overnight (one side) and the paint seems easy to come off if i drag and slightly push a toothpick on it, it scratches and removes the paint...but is there any easy way to remove paint from the inside of the canopy without destroying it physically??? What would i use to scrap the small curved surface???

I strip paint off miniatures (little people 1" or so tall) I paint with this purple degreaser I get in the automotive department of Walmart. It may work. Won't harm plastic.

Actually i went ahead and tooth brushed the dipped part and it comes off super easy...but i had to remove the window part so it may be an issue reassembling...
