Default Does anyone have access to a sandblaster?

I need a valvecover sand blasted because some ricer painted it with retard-strength paint, and no stripper that I can find will even touch it. So if anyone has access to one at work, or knows a good place to have it done, let me know.

If no stripper is working I bet it's powder coated.

well, whatever it is, it looks like absolute shit, and I don't think it's powder coat because the oil cap was the same color, like some dumbass just painted it without bothering to remove the cap.

A couple of those and a 5 gallon bucket and time should do the trick.

If this doesn't at least loosen it up then get another valve cover.

Guys, I don't give a shit if this kid used a mixture of pen ink, dog shit, and molasses to create this devil-coating that plagues my valve cover, I just want it off. I honestly wish I knew how he did it because I want to start painting my stuff like this.

Stock finish comes off MUCH easier than this shit. So I say again, does anyone have access to a sandblaster?

And as far as the aircraft stripper, I've tried all the strippers I have here and none of them really do much, it works a little, but I guess I'll try again today.

Hmm, I figured it was the stock coating, alot of people had a hard time getting that off from what I remember.

Got a compressor?
Go to sears and get the sand blasting kit. Then find a big ass bucket, and 'aquire' some sand.

You've probably already spent more time and money than it would have taken to go to CAP and pull a stock one off.
