Anyone have one?
I need to remove some paint from my valve cover racer for Flanders and would prefer to avoid the mess of chemical strippers.

Aircraft paint remover.
Brush it on, let it sit and wash in off.
Easy peasy.

80 grit aluminum oxide in my blaster
Why don't you just scuff up the existing paint and paint over existing paint?

I heard that once you go PBB, there's no going back.

I was gonna strip it down as I sent it out for plating.
Not sure if it's gonna be chrome, or black nickel yet. Were gonna see what will look best.

Thumbs down for chrome.
Chrome don't get you home.

If they're chrome, they wouldn't look like those... Lol
