I didnt think you were kidding, and I am pretty stressed right now, so I automatically took it the wrong way.

I used paint remover..it works. Then I polished my GSX's valve cover with a dremel and a wire brush head adapter. I used high temp primer and wet sanded then used caliper paint for top coat and a high temp clear. Still looks good but dirty. That was a cheap DIY

Anyways does this paint start to haze due to lack of waxing?
