Thanks 
When I get wickers, I usually just wipe them off with a Q-tip wetted with alcohol. My experience has been that oil-based enamels, when wet, can be wiped up easily this way without marring the finish of the underlying, dry coat. That is to say, alcohol wipes wet RustOleum off dry RustOleum without marring. But it tends to dull the finish on Krylon (old) and Testors. FWIW. YMMV.
Another solvent to try would be mineral spirits / turpentine. And I know for sure NOT to use lacquer thinner 
But the key is that some of the wickers can be erased this way, as long as you get them while they're wet.
