Whats the easiest way to get paint off Oil pans and valve covers??? I am hitting with my drill and wire brush but its on there good and turning out to be very time consuming. Is there anything I can buy???
 
PAINT STRIPPER!! Brush or spray it on, let it sit and scrape or wash it off. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
 
See if there's a blasting shop locally that would mind slipping your parts in with a larger job - I got all the parts for my old 292 done for the big cost of $10, and a six pack of Rolling Rock.
 
I look at it like any household chore. Pay a local kid/younger cousin to do it. Supervision is mandatory/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif.
 
Tal-Strip. You can get it in an aerosol can at Auto Zone.

I stripped my whole /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif with the brush on type. Make sure you wear oven cleaning gloves, mask, and safety glasses! And if spraying it on, stay up wind!

Brush/ spray it on, wait a few, the paint will bubble right off! I used a scotch brite pad to wipe it off.

Rinse with water, dry, sand lightly, primer, and paint.

Beats a DA for tough layers of paint any day IMHO.

I use Bix Stripper from K-Smart! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif It does a good job and isn't as potent as the Kleen-Strip I used to use.
