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!!

I find methylated spirits removes emulsion with a bit of rubbing. Worth
a try - it won't affect most plastics.
