On the very safe side, just use acrylics.

Turpentine will "soften"/melt the plastic while lacquer will brittle the abs.

ok thank u very much

Since your use the word toy, you may need to use primer since acrylics aren't as adhesive as the other 2.

Lacquer paint should be safe if you spray a layer of primer on the pieces first since the problem is exposure to lacquer thinner due to wet paint.

Decal is ruined but overall situation may be salvageable.

Apply the remainder of the decal and then touch up with permanent fine tip black marker.
