How To Spray Paint?

How do you remove spray paint from the rubber part of Converse?

• There's a mix of spray paint and sharpie, but nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol supposedly take care of the sharpie just fine. So I'm wondering how can I remove spray paint from the rubber? It's black spray paint on white rubber soles. It's already cracked in many many places from me trying to get it off, but what can I do? Would nail polish remover work for spray paint too? Thanks!
