So just today, I found some spiderwebs on my mouse. The kind of thing you would see when paint contracts.
I scratched it off and got a different finish underneath. Any one knows how to fully remove it, the matte paint thing?IMG_20210323_081049.thumb.jpg.e1ee4036b05ffe6837be6319c0b10853.jpg

nail polish or acetone should remove that easily, I've actually never seen anything like that before all my mouse have always been in a colored plastic and not painted on. Which brand is that?

While i would resort to acetone too, it would likely damage the plastic substrate in the process. Maybe try something like goof off (also acetone-based i believe, but less harsh), or dilute the acetone to make it gentler.

Yeah thanks everyone, I used a acetone-based nail polish remover and it did the job a little too well.
It removed the matte finish and the black paint below it. Now the RGB leaks everywhere.
I would've removed the black paint completely but its just stubborn or I need something stronger?
Well in anycase, I will paint over it, if it really bothers me and put a gloss finish over it or whatever.
Good thing I can turn RGB off.
