Default valve cover question...

okay my valve cover could be having better days, the original finish on it is coming off now i would like to take the rest of it off what is the easiest way, take the thing off and sand blast it, or good ole elbo grease with a steel brush i will plan on using wrinkle paint afterwards.
thanks in advance
matt

I like the steel wool. I did the wrinkle paint on my old one and it never even showed signs of coming off or fading and I halfassed the cleaning process.

Get Auto Strip or Aircraft remover

Its around 3.99 a can and 1 can should work.
It'll take the finish right off and works well

You can find it at...
Autozone
Pepboys
O'reilys
Advanced autoparts

Its no more than 8 bux a can and yes, i would take the cover off. If you search for archived stuff about polishing and other things of the like you will find good information.
