How can i remove this paint off the psp trim. I painted it black but it was unsuccessful. Turned out horrible. What should i use to remove the paint?

NO, chemicals like nail polish remover will melt the plastic, better get some sandpaper or pain thinner that is rated safe for plastics

I will ask my friend for some sand paper then...I dont know what kind of grit it is though. does it matter?

yes because if you get the wrong kind it will leave scratches that the paint wont fix. if you want nice and smooth 800grit wet/dry =] or at least 600

go with paint thinner. instead of scratching the trim just dissolve it off
