Hmm, I got the strongest concentration of acetone available at the pharmacy and it's done nothing to the paint after 15 minutes of soaking. I tried rubbing it very hard and not even a thin layer is coming off.
Was I misled? Can I find acetone many times more concentrated? Or, mikodipo, have you actually done this with acetone and a Tektro lever?
