Do you know what it was painted with? Often it will scrape off if it was
just put on bare plastic. Might be cheaper to just fit new sockets though.

I need to remove emulsion paint from an intercom device and phone socket in
a sheltered housing complex - someone decided to paint them and of course
they look AWFUL!!!

I might have tried my steam cleaner but I don't think that would be good
for the electronics!!
