petroleum.... that works wonders on removing any kind of paint and almost anything else really.... yea, when i painted mine i got a bit on the reverse light, so i put some on there and voila! it was off in a sec...

if i sand them will most of the stuff come off cause there pretty dark right now??. I was gonna spray them again to get the tiny scrub mark scratch's out, but then barely any light would show through.
