Smile Inner fairing painting FLHX

Hi all, I try to paint the inner fairing on my Street Glide and want to remove it.
Any body has instructions how to remove it.
Would be great to get your help.

theres nothing really good to remove the paint. anything that will remove the paint could hurt the plastic. Have you tried to buy a used fairing
