Skib Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 depends on the paint. but I also bead blast, primer, then paint. then Ill either just skim it off with an exacto blade/razor or Ill sand and polish Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I just rattle canned my valve cover so I should be able to do it with an Xacto blade. Yes. Hold the blade down and at a slight angle . Might need a couple of passes, but it is quick and does well. Quote Link to comment

Guest kamakazi620 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I lightly I just rattle canned my valve cover so I should be able to do it with an Xacto blade. I lightly coat the letters with vasoline then when paint is dry wipe offer the paint onthe letters, paint dont stick to vasoline. Quote Link to comment
