KWA REALLY cakes it on. It's not just a thin paint you can scratch off, it's actually some kind of plastic glued on. I would not expect there to be a nice finish underneath even if you got it off without ruining it so you'll probably have to paint it anyways. I I have yet to remove the orange on my KWA USP. However, I was at a game last Sunday and some guys told me I can safely use nail polish remover as the slide is metal. If it was a plastic slide there would be issues with using nail polish remover, however it's not a concern with metal. I'm not sure if your KWA 1911 came with metal slide stock or not but a lot of KWAs do.
