Safe method for removing vinyl paint?

Here's the problem. I have a car with a dash that was painted/dyed using a vinyl paint. Some of the paint has attached to the vinyl on the door panel where the door and side of the dash touch. Is there a safe way to remove the unwanted paint from the door panel without damaging it? Thanks in advance for any of your suggestions. David

I've used lacquer thinner to clean stains off vinyl upholstery. You can try dabbing (and I do mean dabbing lightly) some lacquer thinner or acetone on the vinyl paint in an inconspicuous area to see if it will soften or remove it. Another option might be naphtha or lighter fluid as they will be gentler than the chemical thinners. Both those are good for removing adhesive residues.
