I'm afraid to recommend anything stronger than the alcohol b/c it could eat away at the plastic. As far as getting in those cracks, I would just roll up a piece of sandpaper and start sanding it down. I had to do this to a couple of my pieces too. After you get the paint off u should sand it down w/ some fine grit sandpaper and then youll be able to paint it. I found that if you clean the pieces w/ rubbing alcohol the paint goes on more evenly and dries faster. Sorry the denatured alcohol idea isnt working that well for you. It may have to do with the kind of paint or the length of time its been on your car. You could try paint or lacquer thinner, but be VERY careful. I havent used these on my car b/c my friends have warned me not to, but if u get it off quickly enough and dont use too much it may not do anything. You should ask around b4 u try this though.
