I've been playing around with the idea to just strip the paint off, and just leave it bare aluminum, and maybe either semi- polished, of fully.

I made an attempt at the recently with my Dremel tool trying various types of of brushes, wheels etc... I had mixed results.

I was wanting a look like my grab handle turned out, with that I just used paint stripper, a green Scotch-brite pad, and elbow grease.

But the dremel tool didn't have the same end results, as I had hoped for a brushed/satin look like the grab handle turned out, I'm just gonna try to fix it with using the same method as the grab handle, and hope of the best.

Worst case, either I pull the cover and take the polishing wheel to it, or just repaint it and leave it. Damn weather lately was be too cold to even think about.
