You should try paint thinner, I used it to remove the Testors paint when i messed up the first time I tried to pain my tails. Im not sure if it would work on the Krylon paint but its worth a try.

did it wipe off easy or did you have to like scrub it off?

It wiped of pretty easily. I did it a day after too. I thought it was gonna be a bitch to come off but it came of easily.

be careful that it doesnt cloud up ur tail lights... paint thinner can be corrosive on plastics
