I went the other way and removed the black paint on the frame. I used a scotch brite scrub sponge of all things and some rubbing compound. I started using 320 grit sand paper on the textured portion. It's hard to get all the black off that lower portion of the frame.
I just noticed our exhausts are identical except for mine is the carbon fiber can.

Can you tell me which rear cowl you used on your 2002? Is that an aftermarket one or a factory 2003 piece without any emblems? I need to replace mine and like the look you have there. Thanks!

If you go slow, then they will come off whole(hair dryer helps), but the residue they leave behind is a bitch to get off. I used wd40 and rubbing alcohol, but i'm sure there's better things you can use.
There are some black rub marks on the pipe in the pic from my boot, but it hasn't actually melted it yet.
