    I thought you were trying to remove paint while traveling....
    Paint thinner on a rag, will usually remove most spray paint.

    the P isn't even really that close to the M button...but i used paint thinner as well because the PO painted a few things..don't really bother with the cheap thinners either it's worth your time and money to get the good stuff as it will take it right off quickly.

    Removing paint from trim

    Try using 0000 steel wool ( CARFULLY ) the stainless will usually look better afterwards.
