This is my secret. Soak them in brake fluid for a day or two & it will come off with no damage at all to the plastic. A modeler showed me this many eons ago & is the only thing that really works well. It does no damage to the plastic as long as you only soak long enough to get paint off. if it's old it may take a day or 2 and then you just scrub off with a toothbrush and Dawn soap, let dry and viola! I know it sounds strange, but try it with some scrap and you will see.
Citadel paint is a type of acrylic paint specifically designed for painting miniature models and figures.
Testors Acrylic Paint is what most hobby shops sell for painting scale models. It can be difficult to find, especially if you don't have a hobby shop in your area, so you would probably be better off buying it on-line. I usually spray paint my models, because using a brush leaves brush lines; spray paint mimics a factory paint job and gives a more realistic look to the finished model. I usually use a paint formulated for plastic surfaces. Automotive paint is for metal, but I have used on some plastic models and it worked fine.
Yes, Citadel Paint Acrylic is suitable for painting miniatures and models.
To effectively remove acrylic paint from plastic models, you can use isopropyl alcohol or a commercial paint remover. Apply the solution to the painted area, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub the paint off with a brush or cloth. Repeat the process as needed until the paint is completely removed. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for safety.

When painting a car model, you must be careful to tape off any areas with masking tape that you do not want to get any paint on, such as metal fenders or tires. It is easiest to paint pieces of a model before you complete construction, but with some models coming already built this can be impossible. Also be careful not to apply too much excess paint to the brush, as unwanted drips may occur.
