Stop in for a cup of coffee

A question for the brain trust here.
Gas filler tube is suppose to be natural steel color. Someone touched it up with a little here and there paint, which I might add matched the stainless vent tube fairly well.
Thinking of hitting the paint with the a light hit on the bead blaster and see what it looks like.
Afraid steel wool will take to long and shine it up...don't want that.
Open for suggestions
