Ah, didn't realise it was a metal strut brace.
That will probably have cellulose paint so it's not going to be easy to paint over as it's bonded to the brace's bi-metallic layer.
I think Hammerite do a solvent treatment that dissolves the paint.
Yes, you can just strip the paint off and polish it. Whether it'll be shiny who knows. You'll probably find the metal underneath is a load of crap and looks better painted.
