Acetone may be ineffective at efficiently removing the powder coat but I expect it will damage the surface gloss enough to be noticable. As I suggested, the OP could try some in an inconspicuous part of the frame to see what it does.
If you are going to experiment with solvents, I'd suggest ethanol instead of acetone. You can find ethanol ("denatured alcohol") at most hardware and paint stores. Ethanol will be much less likely to damage paint or powder coat. Not sure how well ethanol will work in removing stickers, though. Ethanol will do a decent job of dissolving adhesive, so it might work.
