Step 4Removal of Old Paint and Paint Prepping
I mentioned that you would need a can of Aircraft remover. Now you'll use it. Once you've got the valve cover on the hard surface, spray the valve cover to the point that the ENTIRE THING is SOAKED. But don't use the entire can, you might need to do this step once or twice to get it all off.
Give the Aircraft Remover at least ten minutes to soak in and do what it's best at. Use a wire brush to remove stuff that wont come off with the Aircraft Remover with the remover still on.. Once you're removed all the paint, hose it off. Yes, you do run the risk of getting a LITTLE water in your engine. Don't stress it much. A drop wont kill your car. For all those out there who beg to differ, bring me lab studies, and I'll change this. Use another towel to dry off the excess water. Use the Windex to clean it off. Now we'll move on to painting.
