Wondering what the best way is to strip powder coat off of a valve cover
i was thinking about using aircraft remover, but im sure it will destroy the spark plug gaskets, how easy are they to replace?
Hand sanding isnt doing it quite quick enough lol

Just make sure to cover the gaskets with tape or sumthing, you should be fine

def not thinner, stripper
there is both, i used a spray on stripper i found at home depot
I think it will be labeled as aircraft stripper at most auto parts stores. This is not paint thinner. Be sure to get some rubber gloves if you use it.
