Re: waddya think? (Fl_civic_rider)

is that how you got your valve cover......or did you wash it when it was hot?

was such an eyesore i had to strip it. now I gota figure out if i wanna paint it or not.

I use aircraft remover it made the paint buble and steam in under 20 seconds.

Re: waddya think? (Fl_civic_rider)

i did the same thing to my valve cover. I put this spray stripper on it and i did not think it was going to work at all, went inside for a minute came back out that stuff was making the paint just bubble up and it came right off
