Did you paint the body yourself? Did you use Pactra? If you used Pactra you'd be better of trying with a flamethrower or something similar, that paint is super tough. If you used Tamiya or similar spray paint you can leave the body submerged overnight, even several days until it softens the paint. I've done it, it works.
