This is going to take a while to finish- lots of little nooks and cranny-

Don't think so, just polished.

What was that foamy stuff on picture 2? Some kinda paint destroyer?

RE: Stripped the valve cover - PowerDubs_imp - 03-04-2017

Yes, a spray can of paint stripper from the local hardware store. Although 1 can was enough to get most of the factory finish off- it took several sprays to get it done. If I were to do it again I would specifically buy aircraft stripper from Amazon. That should get it all in 1 shot. It was a spur of the moment purchase that I am paying for by more work.

Aren't the valve covers aluminum? Once you polish them, what clear coat do you plan to use?

RE: Stripped the valve cover - PowerDubs_imp - 03-04-2017

High temp engine clearcoat
