Sanding will probably be the best way because all of the paint strippers and chemicals are pretty harsh and would likely damage the surrounding paint.
BTW do you know Rodney (black Si) in Dothan?

Aircraft stripper and products similar are only for removing paint from metal. if you were to put it on plastic it would melt it (it's harsh stuff). I would try the sand paper and see how that works first.
