paint f up

so im painting my badges to match my truck.......there are six or so pieces and halfway through spraying them i accidentally moved three without the paint completely dry and now i gotta do it over.....i need to get the paint off first though...i tried paint thinner but it didnt really do anytihng.....im soaking them in paint thinner as we speak lol.....but is there a better way to get spray paint off plastic and chrome plated plastic?.....or do i need to just go salvage some badges?

I think acetone MAY do this, but turpintine or mineral spirits won't.
