Marius: Like I said in my first post, look up the info on repainting the gun, that will give you your best info.

Most parts are ABS... and yes there are paint strippers out there that will melt ABS...
I thought (and I'm not saying I'm right but...) outer barrels and flash hiders were generally metal... And there are paint strippers that are safe for plastics and are generally found in aerosol cans. One in particular is made by Pro-Form.
I sell the stuff at work.
If you don't want to use a stripper... Oven cleaner will work most situations... Put the part in a tupperware container and cover with the foamy type oven cleaner...
If that doesn't remove the paint try brake fluid... that'll definitely get the stuff off...
As for the automotive paints... I wasn't suggesting he go buy PPG or something that's $35 for a custom mised aerosol... But rather the type of automotive paint you'd find at Crappy Tire... but being that he's from the states I wasn't going to suggest going there to get it... Krylon is great stuff though...
