Not sure where you are in the world but in the UK I use Dettol, an antiseptic disinfectant, the old version that is an amber colour. Works perfectly for both metal and plastic and the advantage is that it is really easy to get hold of and doesn’t have any unpleasant fumes. I keep mine in a jam jar, chuck the minis in, leave for a week or two, remove the minis and gently scrub off the paint residue with a nail brush or similar. If there are still sections of paint that are stuck then put it back in the jam jar and repeat in a week or two. Easy. Dettol remains active for a very long time, the stuff in my jar is well over a year old and is still going strong.
