My latest purchase, Aero Fighters 2 MVS. Original euro label over what it seems to be an also original jap label, was this common in SNK?
Pre-cleaning pic. As you can see someone spilled blue paint over the cartridge. Hooray for the idiot.

I cleaned the plastic with the following:
- Goo Gone (no luck, respects the paint)
- Acetone (takes away the paint and also the shinning of the plastic, so I only used it on a small area and applied a plastic repairing gel afterwards)
- Alcohol. This one is the way to go. Removes the paint but the plastic stays alright.
To clean the label what I did was to scratch the paint with a small flat screwdriver (Wiha by Xiaomi). I only did it on the white areas since a bit of the label gets also scratched so, if done over the black parts I'd ruin them. Maybe it helped here the double label.
BTW, AF2 is one of my favorite games ever.
