Castrol Super Clean.. or break fulid to completely strip.

Now how big is the area of spilt paint.. try removing that spot with some rubbing alchol on a rag and then repainting it.

If you are in the UK then you have a couple of options: =
Soak in Dettol (Pinesol in USA)
or
Paint effected area with small amounts of Acetone using a Q-tip.
This will break down the paint very quickly so be careful and always use in a well ventilated area and try not to breath in too many fumes.
Then you can reprime with brush on primer and re-paint to your hearts content.

pinesol? i heard it works but when i used it it did crap all and weakened the plastic?

Oven cleaner. Works on both metal and plastic. Just do it outside cause it stinks. And wear rubber gloves as well.
