Isopropyl Alcohol normally comes at a 70% strength - rubbing alcohol. They do make a 91% version but usually you have to ask for it - at least in places around here.
I have successfully used the 91% strength product to remove SHS (and other) lettering, mainly so I could re-number models. I suppose if you rubbed long enough and hard enough with the higher strength alcohol, it might take off the paint too, but that's a guess... I agree with Dick - use a recognized plastic model paint remover.
