Not easy to strip silicone paint, since it bonds to the mask extremely well, silicone bonds best to silicone. Repainting on top is an easy thing though, I did that last year with a mask, I also added some detail to it as well, all with silicone. Get a tube of GE Silicone 1, a can of mineral spirits (for thinning oil paint and cleaning brushes) then a multicolor set of oil paints, and some brushes and sponges. To add detail, just use the silicone itself, after cleaning the mask with a little rubbing alcohol, add it to the mask with a brush, popsicle stick, or other sculpting tool and build it up till you're happy. Let it sit at least a full day before painting. For the paint, thin the same silicone down with the mineral spirits till it's a a good paint consistency, then add just a little bit of the oil paint for pigment and mix it in until it's even. Paint on with a brush, or sponge and that's about it!
