Answer
Hi Heather,

Yes, you can try using fingernail polish remover. If fingernail polish remover doesn't work you can try this item:

Be forewarned if you use these wipes you must neutralize the area where it was applied after you're finished or it will remove the factory finish all the way to the metal. To neutralize you just simply wash the area where it was used with soap and water. This product works fabulous if used with caution. There are also other types of over-spray removal products on the market that will also but not as well.
