1200 grit paper + orbital sander= hard work.

did you think that you can remove the paint and just have the original colour buffed up?

As above, if it can be scratched of that easily you could try scraping it off with a plastic tool. May be a filler spatula.

Have you thought about hiring a pressure washer, one with about 3000psi, and just blasting it off? If its possible to scratch it off with your finger nail, it should peel right off. NB Most important to keep away from all window seals when using this strenght of perssure washer.
