Not sure how Krylon works exactlly but that stuff is supposed to bond with plastic real good. On regular spray-paint, I used mineral spirits to remove someone elses mess. Had to set a rag full of mineral spirits on the plastic for a while...1-3 minutes and then the paint would start to blister and rub off. Be careful thou, because if the liquid would sit too long it began to eat at the plastic. Really sketchy if that method will work for ya but that's what I've done in the past.

You could have tried "Easy-off" oven cleaner. It will not harm plastic but should eat the paint off. Just make sure you wear protective (rubber/latex) gloves if you are going to try this... that is, if its not to late to fish it out of the trash can.
