I was wondering if it was possible to paint the plastics on the Avalanche

Short answer is "Yes". The long winded bit, and this is what I gather from posts at another site dedicated to Avalanche's, is that the plastics - refered to as 'cladding' must be sanded to remove the texture and then finished with your choice of paint.

Other options are to use some specialty products to paint the cladding such as http://www.urethanesupply.com/index.html

good luck

Yep... and here's a picture of my AV to prove it!

what is an affordable way to remove the texture from the plastic when painting the parts on an avalanche?

Just scuff it, spray on plastic adhesion promoter, plastic sealer, base coat, and then top coat. But Your still stuck with the texture. Don't try sanding it or it will gum up into a big huge mess. Unless you plan on priming it afterwards.
