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
Ummm, thought you found a clean old one.. :BangHead:
