Use paint remover, it softens the old finish and ( makes it easier to remove, still takes a while to get it off. You're talking about krinkle finish paint or what ever they call it, right?

Yes I do, it's the time it takes 2 clean and prep( them that is the killer. A local place said they will sandblast and PC them for $80. So at this price it really doesn't make sense for me to do this for others for free. 6 hours of cleaning is most of the day. I do have a small sandblaster but have never used it on valve covers. It's possible that sandblasting will pit them, which is something I don't want.

Anyone need a pair of 540 valve covers? I bought a spare set so I could powder coat them and have them ready when I did the valve cover gasket work. Those went on the car last week and I have the crusty looking original ones available. I would like to get the $100 back I paid for them. I will include a set of the 22 bolt seals, 16 of one size and 5 of 6 of the other size (with one missing) that you will need to buy to do the job and they ran $17 from Autohauz Arizona. It was nice having the time to get them powder coated before doing the job. 2002 540 6 speed, Steel Blue/Black interior, totally loaded with every option, and now with built in Stealth One/Valentine 1. 18" Staggared Privat wheels.
