why even paint it? i jsut striped all the paint off, and it looked good. I did spray clear hi-temp paint, but it still looked cool. maybe just sand blast it. the pits from snad blasting it sparkels cool.

Yeah. I sripped the crinkle coat off with some awesome paint stipper in a foaming spray can. Just sprayed it on and hosed off the old paint. It took like 10 mins! The bare aluminum had some blotchy spots, so I decided to paint it.
Thanks for the kudos guys

Hey man, do you remember the name of that stripper by chance? I'd like to do my H22 cover that way too! Looks great, IMO

I'll post up a pic tonight. I can't remember the name right now. I can't tell you how great the stuff worked. Spray on(don't inhale-trust me!), wait 5-10 mins, and hose off. Cake!
