I would love to do this. My problem is that the paint is actually coming off on mine in one corner...not just discoloring. Any advice on what I can do?

I don't think you understand. It looks like there is some sort of "film" like covering over plastic that is painted. I can see how the "paint" discolors enough that alcohol could remove it and make it shiny. In my case the "film" that is painted is peeling off and bubbling up in one corner. Do you understand what I'm saying?

I just did mine yesterday. It was pretty easy. I used rubbing alcohol and a new sponge. It seemed that there was a 'film' or something over the top of the paint. (nothing that was bubbling or anything like that.) It took me two attempts on a single area...the first appeared to remove the film, and the second removed the paint. The scrubbing side of the sponge worked great, and didn't scratch the finish at all. Now it's all nice and shiney.
