    I used this paint remover call air craft coating remover, this stuff works insanely good, dont have to wait over night for the stuff to work, takes 5-10 minutes max then you wipe the paint right off.

    I think a gel type paint removers would work well in this application..and they dont' run...kinda like the consistency of mayonnaise. We use that stuff on boats when it has to hang off the bottom but not drip so it can remove the paint.

    I have the same problem with my valve cover. I was thinking about red but decided I want the stock black "wrinkle" look.

    Eric, do you happen to have a pic of your valve cover done with that "wrinkle" paint?
    (I would probably have a hard time finding that paint over here, but if it really looks stock, I wannit smile

    Question

    Eric...is that a breather element on your valve cover (in the back)?? Bad Boy...tsk tsk -
    Does that help keep from getting oil fumes in your intake tube I guess???
