I would recommend just repainting whatever you're working on in the end. Getting a real firearm finish/paint makes them look so much nicer.
Edit: Actually, I just remembered I had used 'Simple Green' degreaser to remove paint from an old M4 5 pos stock and slim foregrip. It took a week or two of sitting in the fluid and scrubbing with a toothbrush to lift all the paint, but I was able to do so without damaging the plastic in any way.
Just time consuming...

What I did was when I botched my paint job, I used oven cleaner on ABS plastics. It does not eat through the plastic, and it does a great job removing the paint. Just wet the surface a little, throw some oven cleaner powder on and let it sit for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes, then brush it with the rough side of a sponge or plastic wool scrunchy things. Rinse and repeat until the paint is removed. I'd expect the same results from metal and rubber, but as always, start with a test surface and see if there are fruitful results.
