How many aircraft do you have to remove first? Smile

If your wheel had no lips your tire would be flapping around attached to nothing.

Wait 5-15 minutes my ...

The black valve cover took several days and several coatings before the finish came off with paint stripper- so I read online to get aircraft stripper.

S'possed to be stronger, and everyone said their wheels were done quickly and easily. Not mine! This stuff is barely doing anything- seems no better than the normal stripper, despite it's rave reviews on Amazon. Ugh.

Meanwhile, other folks are complaining about flaking paint on their cylinders... Oh, the humanity!

Did this to my 2000 VFR; amazing metal finish is hidden under that paint.
