I would not use rubbing alchohol on any paint. It contains isopropyl alchohol which will cause many plastics to fail. Your clear coat is plastic and the binder in the paints probably is at risk too.
A story. When the first plastic dial-a-dose insulin injector pens came out, they started cracking and breaking. Why, from the isopropyl prep pads that folks used to clean the skin at the injection site. The injection pens had to be redesigned to use a different material.
Another. A dispenser for isoproyl in a computer room for tape head cleaning swabs. The nylon tube in the device failed in about 2 days, brittle and weak. Replaced with polyethene and that had no problems.
Use mild paint thinners, safe for your hands and the paint. Or get bug and tar remover from the shop. Never use acetone, laquer thinner or thinners for automotive spray paints! Carb cleaners and brake cleaner sprays will trash paint and brake fluid too.
