This article may be of some help:

I haven't tried it yet myself, but I have pealed paint off by accident :-(. The key ingredient according to the article is Future. My only experience with Future was problematic so personally I'm in no hurry to use it again. I might give this a try with Testors gloss coat. You'd want to let this dry at least 24 hours. I think the key no matter what you use is to not let the paint set and harden. With acrylics I think you'd start the chipping no more than 20 minutes or so after application. Just an educated guess.
