You didn't listen to me in your other thread, heat and scraping would have been all you needed.
If you like the bare frame, strip it completely and clear coat it. But it's going to be a lot of work.

Is it just a trick of shadows or is there a huge, long dent running along that tube just to the left of where the paint was Offed?

BTW, I find chemical stripping isn't too bad if done outside when weather is nice. Zip Strip, glove, goggles, long pants and sleeves, wire brush, patience. Inside it's huffulicious paradise

A heat gun looks a lot like a hair dryer, but the heat gun puts out a much-slower flow of air, that is heated FAR hotter. Care must be used as it will put out air hot enough to burn stuff.

Ok dude.. this is that u do ok? Go to your hobby shop and get the closest TAMIYA paint color they have. Thats water based and should not ruin the paint, levels fine and is cheap, use rubbing alcohol if you want to thin it ok?
1st just sand lightly the paint so it gets kind'a even and then use the tamiya color you bought. If you buy black u can do a black strip around the tube.
Second option, buy another sticker and put it over LOL
