How do can I remove paint from an RC body

I have an old RC body that I painted blue. It didn't dawn on me until tonight that it's an A4 body, a B5 at that lol. So I now really want to repaint it from blue to black and make a mini replica of my car. Only problem is, it was the style you painted from inside. Can you pull the paint off of it or will it forever be blue?

DON'T soak it in thinner, that would ruin the body. Leave it blue & find anouther one if you want to make a replica of your car.
Here are my Audi bodys,

I don't know if I could find the body again though
I bought it back in 1999 when I was living in Germany. I guess worse case scenario is I ruin it. I'm gonna try something lol.

what you could do is find a shop that does custom molds of things, like that vacuum forming thing, then you can make lots of those bodies.
