Show me your painted valve covers
Last night I decided to flaunt my bachelorhood and put my valve covers in the dishwasher. What a fool I used to be! A lot of the silver paint peeled off. Now I need to get this cleaned up and repainted in the next week or so. I think I'll stick with this color scheme, but was wondering what else is out there.

Hmmmm. I like the black. What's the best way to strip the old paint completey off? Wire wheel? Chemicals? Or just scuff up and spray over it?

I'm guessing Tal isn't available at most local car parts store, no?
