latex gloves > aircraft remover
unless you want your fingers to burn when the remover gets into small cuts on your hands
here's a pic of my valve cover after i painted it...i ended up breaking a bolt in the head and smudging the cover a little...other than that it looks awesome! get some black wrinkle paint and pop it in the oven at 200 degrees for about 10-15 minutes after each coat. or you can wait 4-5 hours for it to dry...whichever you would rather do :P
ps - valve cover bolts only go in at 7 ft-lbs i believe!
