    Use a hair dryer. Keep it 3-4" away from decal. Gently scrape the sticker with your finger nail. Once it starts to peel, keep heating, and peeling.

    Head to your nearest auto parts store. Find some aluminum polish. I've always liked Mothers, but we all have our preference.
    Be sure your polishing surface is clean. If a small piece of debri ends up in the buffing pad,
    you'll have cylindrical scratches on your tunnel.

    That could be a decal, not paint. Don't use chemicals on aluminum, unless you know it's safe to use on aluminum.
    Some chemicals will dull the metal, making it difficult, if not impossible, to shine.
