hey freshkid. when i bought my 95 rm 125 a while ago, he painted my side panels too. they looked like poop after a week. i just left it alone but it does get scratched real easily. paint thinner should work.

acetone will take the paint off but may mix it with the plastic
test the paint thinner on the back of one first
