Remove enamel spray paint from plastic?

Not gunna bore with details, i rubbed a piece of paper that had enamel spray paint on it, on a plastic bezel of a laptop(very small portion). There is some small residue on the plastic bezel and i need it removed asap. what cleaner can i rub on to remove the paint? i have terpentine, paint thinner, some kind of paint cleanup. dunno what to do. thanks

Answer:

If you use solvent on the plastic, it will melt the surface of the plastic. Let it dry and use a plastic scraper on it. It should come off. If it is a rough surface, use a sewing needle to gently pick it out. You can try goof off on it, but again; it's a solvent and will eat into the plastic.
difficult aspect. research from yahoo and bing. that could actually help!
mos tchemical strippers will ruin plastic i woud wet sand it to remove the sheen and give a decent surface for the new paint
