Default How do I get this off?

Okay, so I was using the Duplicolor vinyl white spray can to to paint the door handles. But when I pulled the tape off I noticed that some excess paint had gotten outside the lines and on to the grainy plastic parts of the door panels. Ive tried goo gone and scrubbed the panels with a pretty hard brush and it doesnt seem to work. Ive also tried paint thinner too. If anyone knows how I can get this stuff off it would be greatly appriciate it.
Thanks guys,
Griff

Vinyl paint fuses with the surface it's sprayed onto. I doubt you'll ever get it off completely.

interior or extrerior?? from your description it sounds like the interior door. This is why you should always remove whatever it is you paint, even though it might sometimes be a hassle. Maybe some compounding or some very fine sand papaer (2000-3000 grit) but it sounds like you might be in trouble. Any pictures to help us??
