Hi
The question is what kind of paint is it? If it is mil polyurethane
(CARC) which is likely, then there is nothing that will remove it
without damaging the vinyl. You best bet would be to cover it with
paint matching the vinyl door. Acetone and laquer thinner will not cut
the dried CARC. Regular enamel you may be able to cut using some
thinner but try a hidden spot on the door first to see if it attacks it.

What's the best solvent to use to remove paint on HMMWV soft doors?
Just plain old paint thinnner, acitone and so on?

Thanks
