How to remove incompatible overspray

How to remove incompatible overspray
I’m still working on this 1958 Country Gent and I am getting closer to getting past the structural stuff and on to the finish work. The entire body appears to have been resprayed with what I’m guessing is some sort of poly a long time ago. It’s very yellowed, has multiple big drips across the entire body and flakes right off in big pieces. My plan is to remove it all, clean it up a bit and then respray with nitro.
Anyone have great advice on how to do this? Currently I’m using a small scalpel-like exacto blade to help lift the edges of the overspray and then peel it back but even with my most perfect work it can leave some scratches. Is there a plastic tool equivalent or some other method I’m not thinking of? Thanks!

If it is really failing, you might be able to do it with compressed air. 120 psi with a tight nozzle.
If not compressed air, definitely throw a heat gun into the equation. It doesn’t take much heat to make a difference.
