Removing paint...

I've searched the forums but no one has the same problem as me. I found a late 80s (judging by components) Bianchi bike (see Catch of the day! thread) and I took the stickers off because i'm getting replacements. The problem is, there seems to be 2 layers of paint. The top layer is white with a celeste-ish tinge to it and the bottom coat (under the stickers) is plain white. I used some paint thinner to try to get the sticker residue off but I still have the outline of the old stickers. I want to take the top coat off so I can put the replacement stickers on because they don't have the same outline as the old ones. Is there any way I can take the top coat of without hurting the bottom coat?
