That's been my experience as well. I start with lacquer thinner to try to remove the respray, and if that doesn't do it then acetone usually does. I've had good success stripping off the repaint using acetone with out damaging the original paint by checking often to see if the original paint is starting to soften. If so I stop and/or work on a different area for a couple of hours to let everything firm up before starting again. Acetone will likely destroy the original graphics, however. The nice thing about yours is the original white isn't too hard to match for touch up or respray. Whatever happens you grabbed a great score!
