Dancing is Forbidden

I have a B18a and the douches that had it before me painted the valve cover type R-ed. So how did you go about stripping the paint off the valve cover? Also, how do I polish it? Thanks for the help.

to remove the paint use aircraft stripper....it just kinda bubbles off....as far as polishing I dunno....

I bought my valve cover to a local powder coating shop and they sandblasted it and recaoted it for only $50. if you can find someone with a blaster i would do it that way. Airplane stripper works but it's gets messy.

sand blast it. If you have enough time u can polish it your self. I polished my SOHC but the DOHC has more edges and grooves.

where can you find aircraft stripper?

I bought mine at Checkers. It should be available pretty much everywhere.

If you want to polish it yourself, you can use an attachment to your drill or die grinder that is a SEWN buffing wheel. NOT a car polishing pad. They make different grades of compound depending on what you want to achieve. I just got the one that says "removes surface imperfections" and ought to be pretty rough. Start with that and finish with the Fine to achieve a "high lustre"
After paint removal, of course.

I got the aircraft stripper from Autozone...you can get it from Hi/Lo Oreily's or any automotive place I would imagine
