Dremeled my side covers- what do you think?
#60



No paint thinner won't work at all for what I did. I used aircraft stripper on the valve cover and it took many applications, and a lot of elbow grease to remove the very tough factory finish. It also took a lot of scrubbing to remove the remaining bits left behind.

There is no way that you would be able to do it on the side covers, if you want them like I did them.

If you were going to use stripper – you would have to do the entire thing not just a section like I did.

The Dremel makes it very quick and easy work. The only reason I didn't use the Dremel on the valve cover was because of all the nooks and crannies, curves.

I have not yet mounted my stripped and brushed valve cover.
