    Just soak the paint then clean off with warm water and a scourer ,should not be a problem

    Scrape it off with your fingernail. Sharp enough to get it off but soft enough not to damage the plastic.

    I tried a scourer but it looks like it is lifting the sheen off the uPVC soI stopped . Do you think it will buff back up?

    Thanks for this tip I dont think I should use any more solvent or abrasives on it a credit card sounds good it isnt sharp for one thing.It will take a while but its best to just get on with it
