grunyon- Welcome to Autopia!
Sorry to hear they did the respraying incorrectly (trim should be removed, not masked, and any masking they *do* do oughta be undetectable).
Lacquer thinner oughta take it off the textured plastic, just don`t get it on the paint you want to stay. Yeah, that might be tricky to do.
Another thing to try is "overspray clay", which is much more abrasive/aggressive than normal detailing clay. Gotta watch that you don`t abrade it too much though, or else you`ll mess with the texture of the trim (and keep it off the surrounding paint). The overspray clays are often red in color, and if your normal detailing supply store doesn`t have it you can get it at autopaint/body supply stores.
If you can take things apart that`d be a lot better. But watch for "bridging", where the paint bridges gaps (say, between the plastic trim and the body panel). If this bridged paint chips (and it almost always does anyhow, that`s why it`s an issue) it`ll take "paint you want to stay" with it
Result: gotta get it repainted again (properly).
Sorry if this all sounds really pessimistic, but as I think you know it`s not a good situation. Sometimes it`s not all *that* big a deal though, so think positive and just be *VERY* careful taking off the overspray.
