    I have l2000 too. If I remember correctly there was a person who reported he managed to get those off successfully. Yet I can't find the post.
    Rubbing alchohol should help but could just blur them. Hm, I'll keep searching.

    Acetone (nailpolish remover) should do it.

    Acetone will definitely remove the paint BUT it will also melt the plastic! Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

    I have successfully removed the livestrong yellow paint on hp l2000 lid using eucalyptus oil. First, i used non-acetone nail polish remover on a small area but it whiten the lid. So, out of frustration I tried to use eucalyptus oil and it works perfectly. I'm happy now.
