window seal paint removal

the guy that camoflauged my truck also painted the window seals. i dont want to ruin them so i thought i would ask, what is a safe way to get the paint off of them without replacing them? also while we are at it, he camoflauged the interior lol. he done the door panels the same way, is there some way i could remove the paint without ruining the door panels also. thanks guys

Check with some "boat people" on paint removal. I know they make a special paint remover for fiber-glass. Try a little bit of acetone or lacquer thinner on the rubber.

When removing paint on any surface, it is best to start with the least destructive means. Start with some rubbing compound and a soft rag. Most spray paint is not very durable, and will come off with ease. As far as the door panels are concerned, I think it would be better to re-paint them, than try to strip the existing paint off. You probably will ruin the texture trying.
