Paint stripper, but it won't work 100%. You have to do some sanding.

You could try some sort of paint remover, that may work. Or you can see if there are any places in your area that do sand, bead, or media blasting. There is a place here in Omak that would do an h22 valve cover for 15 dollars.

Jasco Paint and Epoxy Remover from Home Depot or Lowes. It's in a brass colored can. You're going to want thick rubber gloves, and a stiff bristle paint brush. Lay it on thick, and let it set for a few (follow the directions on the can). DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR SKIN. It burns like crazy. Even the fumes can make your skin feel hot.

I've used it to take off the epoxy finish they use when they refinish bathtubs dozens of times (from old cured tubs, not fresh ones that would be easy. lol) and it took the powder coating off of my SRI. I also used it on my VC, and didn't need to sand anything off. You want to work it down in between the letters with the brush though, just to get the old paint to come out.

steel woal i herd works, havent tried it yet tho.

I'm guessing no sand blasting due to the numerous small orifices/ports right? Be hard to get all the sand out...if not impossible?

sanding is a b***** but i did it hahahaha i never thought of stripper, if you have a power sander of some sort it wouldnt be too bad. use a dremel tho for the tight places Id be interested to see how stripper would work? a diy would be legit !!!

Good link PointBlank!

I have to decide what color to make mine. Just picked up a h22 and the cover is flaking bad. Luckily I have a bead blast cabinet, so should be easy to get down to bare metal.
