try scrubbing it with wet cloth. if you use nail polish remover, you wll cloud the mirror coz it melts plastic.

Oh ok, will it still work if the paint is dry? Cuz its dry. I also contacted Tamiya Corp. about my problem and asked them if i can order another window, but i dont know if they will let me, anyone know if they will let me? Thanx

:wtf:
Is the paint on the windows or mirrors?
So which is it?
Either way you my be able to remove it with Windex.
I've never had to remove paint from windows nor have I painted the mirrors.
so I'm not sure.

Sand it off with 1000+ grit, eventually getting higher grits. Once the paint is off you should polish it down.

BRAKE FLUID (DOT3) will remove the paint and leave the plastic unharmed.
Windex will also work, although it will require some rubbing.

dont blame me if something go wrong with your plastic but I did the windshield of a f50 from tamiya and a mustang from revell and they both came out fine. I left it in the long enought so that the paint came off with water and then I washed it with dish soap and it looked brand new. so it worked for me.
