i was just going to use some q-tips and nail polish remover to strip the paint where i wanted to, sanding is also a good idea.
also, any way to recover the Ferrari decal I used on the wheel? it's a done deal, isn't it?

Nail polish remover might harm the plastic, if you used Tamiya acrylics use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol), if you used enamel use mineral spiirts or enamel thinner...this is of course after taking adequate steps to protect the carbon fiber decals (If you're going to clear, make sure to mask off the areas you want to strip the paint from too).
Try soaking the wheel in warm water, it should float off and you can retrieve it with tweezers and put it on something like glass for easy retrieval later.
