Default Paint Remover?

Ok so I've stupidly got overspray on one of my wheels from a little DIY project and now can't get it off the wheels are powdercoated and the paint is enamel based if that helps.

I've tired using acetone and whilst it does the job ok it's not removing it quick enough so was wondering if there's anything stronger or what the strongest thing is I can use on the wheels without damaging the powdercoat?

TIA

Try a rubbing compound like scratch x or similar. Even t-cut will eventually get it off.

As said, T-Cut. Do it asap so the paint doesnt harden too much. Just use elbow grease.

I'd be inclined to do the above and consider it penance - it'll work but it will take a while.
