Wet 'n' drying would take ages, might be better to use a coarse type of sandpaper to remove the paint and then a finer one to sand the scratches out of the plastic. I don't know how thick the plastic is though. If you've used a relatively soft paint (rattlecans) you might be able to get results with a card scraper. I think I'll try that. I intend to paint the wheel after I removed the thick coats of old paint because it's probably not easy to polish out all the scratches and end up with an acceptable finish.
