Acetone may also remove the paint so be careful how you use it.

1st.. are u sure you are trying to turn the cup to the right side??
The acetone trick works but what will work for sure is to put the cup in a big ass vise and use the frame to crank the cup out, u will have more leverage using the frame than a tool. After that I would advice you to take the frame to a shop to get rechased just in case.
good luck.

Have one of those tools and in the pinarello frame i got the only way i could wrench the darn cup out was the vice technique. The issue with the tool is that the bike needs to be almost complete and with a naked frame and no way to hold the frame to use that tool is hard.
What I did not think was in to put the tool in a vice, and use the frame to lever the tool

Sheldon, as I recalled , or someone , showed a collection
of heavy industrial nuts, bolts and split lockwashers , to effectively make,
a tool like Jeff's example #13 to grip the cup between the 2 big hexes,
and put the monster spanner on to turn it
