If ya want to, start all over again with the same body instead of buying a new one. Use soemthing like Castrol degreaser (heard that stuff works wonders)

Not bad for a first time. You got all the right ideas. but try painting like from side to side.

it doesn't look too bad....

but yes, you can sand it down. use a coarse sandpaper to get the paint off, then smooth it out with finer stuff...get it VERY smooth.

Krylon is fine. just make sure you keep the can moving fast, and apply VERY thin coats. that will help ensure an even coat of paint.

NO. acetone will eat away the plastic, aswell as the paint, and destroy your body.
