I just bought a NX nitrous kit and don't really like the way the bottle looks. Is it possible to take the paint off, sand it down, and polish the bottle?

yes, its going to take some time, first sand the paint off with some 80 grit (i use 3m stuff), when all the paint is off, sand the whole thing smooth with 150-180 grit, then smooth again with 220 grit, then again with 320 grit, for best results sand again with 400 grit, then you have to hit it with a makita polisher with a wool pad on it, use rubbing compound first, then use a wax.

Find something along the lines of "ZOOP Seal" so that it doesnt have to be buffed nearly as often
