Try a hairdryer. As it's painted metal you should use low heat at first and step it up as required. Once melted lift it with a soft cotton cloth. Cellulose thinners will clean the last of it up but as you are only 14 I'd suggest you get your mother to do that part...thinners can be dangerous.

Be careful!
