Not sure what paint you've used, but Modelstrip (an alkalyne paste in a tub) could well remove the paint . It certainly seems to take off most paint including one or two factory finishes . I've used it quite often and had good results. It used to be available from Mainly Trains by mail order although they are reducing the range of items they carry so I'm not sure
Sanding it off fills me with horror, especially on an N gauge body
