you can get rid of the orange peel.

wet sand the top layer of lacquer. then either polish it to a shine or give it another coat.

how are you painting it? may be able to help with techinque to stop the orange peel look.

if you did want to remove the paint, i have heard some people say they have used paint stripper and it didnt damage the plastic but i havent tried it myself.

orange peel is usually cause by using the spray gun/can too close to the object your painting

[brosnan]

wet sand can help resolve but it the application that causes as said above

Have you got a pic of the area you`ve painted showing the orange peel?sometimes its easier to flatten right down & start again.
