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.

 

I'm calling stock finish on this one...

 

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.

 

i have one at work.....i do wheels and valve covers all the time in it.

 

Want to hook a brother up? PM me.

 

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