Default dash panel insert removal???

Does anyone know how to remove a dash panel insert ,.I just got a dash but the carbon fiber is pretty dull so I was thinking of painting it to match the candy apple red that is going on the rest of the bike this weekend.
If possible I want to remove the insert without damge.
Is this possible?

I had a feeling it was going to involve heat of some sort.
Thanks a lot for the help.
